Module 10, Lesson 2 - Properties of Sound - Part 1

___________ is the maximum distance the particles in a medium move from their rest positions as the wave passes through the medium.

Which type of sound wave has the greatest energy?

___________ is how you perceive the energy of a sound wave.

___________ is the amount of sound energy that passes through a square meter of space in one second.

Which property of sound waves changes when you increase the volume on a car radio (increase in energy)?

Which increases if the amplitude of a sound wave increases?

A normal conversation has an intensity of 60 dB and an MP3 player at peak volume has an intensity of 110 dB. How many times more energy does the MP3 player has?

An MP3 player at maximum volume produces sound at 110 dB. The table shows the recommended time exposure before risk of damage to the ear. How many hours a day could you listen to your MP3 player at full volume without risking hearing loss?
