Multiple Select
Choose all that apply to sound.
Moves by vibrations
Must have a medium to transfer sound energy
Closeness of particles determine the speed of sound.
The closer particles are the faster the vibrations get passed on.
4
5
Multiple Choice
Sound travels in solids best because;
solids have a higher density
particles of matter are closer together
particles of matter don't have to travel far to pass on the vibrations
all of these choices
6
7
Multiple Choice
Liquids as a medium;
are less dense than solids
are more dense than gases
transfer vibrations faster than gases
all of these
8
9
Multiple Choice
Gases are the worst medium for transferring sounds because;
it is more dense than solids and liquids
gas particles are too far apart they don't transfer vibrations
have to move farther distances to pass on vibrations
they aren't made
of matter

Multiple Choice
Which medium is best for sound to travel through?
liquids
gases
solids

Multiple Choice
Temperature affects the transfer of sound by;
speeding up the particles of matter
allowing vibrations to move faster through the heated medium
affect the speed of sound transfer
all of these
