Science: How do we connect? (sound waves)
Vibration
Sound is caused by vibration that makes particles in the air form sound waves.
Pitch
Pitch can be taken as the measure of sound frequency expressed in terms of Hertz.
Amplitude
Amplitude is a measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave.
Frequency
Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself.
Oscillation
Oscillation in sound refers to the periodic variations in air pressure that constitute a sound wave.
Sound waves
A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air, water or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound. Sound waves are created by object vibrations and produce pressure waves, for example, a ringing cellphone.
Loudness
he attribute of a sound that determines the magnitude of the auditory sensation produced and that primarily depends on the amplitude of the sound wave involved
Intensity
the proportion of energy that flows per unit time across a unit area perpendicular to the direction of travel of such sound waves.
Wavelength
The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a sound wave is referred to as the wavelength of the sound wave.
