Exploring the Science of Sound: Wavelengths, Speed, and Experiments
Sound
Science Outreach
What is Sound?
Wavelength
Sound is caused by vibrations of air particles, or waves.
BUMP!
Compression Waves
Compression Waves
How fast is sound?
•
Sound travels at 1,120 ft/s (340 m/s) in air
•
The speed of sound is different for different mediums
•
The speed of sound also depends on the temperature
of the medium
•
Speed of sound in water is 1497 m/s
You can measure the speed of sound by knowing the
frequency of the sound and the wavelength in the medium.
Speed = Wavelength X Frequency
Who’s ready for an experiment!?!
Delve into the fascinating world of sound with this engaging content, covering the fundamentals of sound waves, compression waves, the speed of sound in different mediums, and how to measure it. Get ready for a hands-on experiment to further your understanding of sound science!
