Chpater 7: Sound Waves
This test has a time limit of 20 minutes.
Note summary:
• Sound is a Wave in air pressure
• Waves bend toward areas where they move slower.
• There is a depth in the ocean and an altitude in the air where Sound Waves move the slowest. These act as Sound Channels
• When Waves meet, they “Interfere” with each other.
• This can mean reinforcement or cancellation
• Beats occur when two Waves gradually switch between reinforcement and cancellation. This gives rise to a gradually increasing or decreasing volume in Sound.
• Musical Notes are Sound Waves of different Frequencies.
• The Doppler Shift is a shift in the Frequency of the Wave due to the source (or observer) moving.
