- 5. Loudness describes what you actually hear. A sound wave of greater intensity sounds louder. (Turning volume up on something increases loudness)
- 7. Contains hairs that tell the brain a sound is incoming.
- 11. A small tightly stretched membrane that takes sound waves and bounces them around.
- 12. Areas of the through containing vocal cords, also known as voice box.
- 14. The pitch of a sound is a description of how high or low the sound seems to someone. The pitch of a sound you hear depends on the frequency of the sound wave. High frequency means, high pitch low frequency means low pitch.
- 15. The density of a medium is how much matter or mass there is in a given amount of space or volume.
- 17. Ear Contains three smallest the three smallest bones in the body which vibrate when waves hit the ear canal.
- 18. Vibrations or sounds too high to hear.
- 20. The curved surface of the outermost part of your ear
Down
- 1. Vibrations or sounds too low to hear.
- 2. Music is a set of tones combined in ways that are pleasing to the ear.
- 3. effect- The apparent change in frequency as a wave source moves in relation to the listener is called the Doppler effect.
- 4. Loudness or sound levels is measured in decibels. The loudness of a sound you can’t really hear is about 0 DB. Each 10 DB increase in sound levels represents a tenfold increase in intensity For example, 30 dB is 10x Louder then 20 dB.
- 6. Describe how well sounds can be heard in a particular area.
- 8. Is the ability to bounce back after being disturbed. If a medium is very elastic it’s particles easily go back to their original positions.
- 9. Describes the sound quality you hear. The blending of the fundamental tone and overtones make up the characteristic sound quality or timbre.
- 10. The intensity of a sound is the amount of energy the wave carries per second through the unit area Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.
- 13. System of detecting reflected sound waves.
- 16. The sound produced when two notes that don't sound alike combine
- 19. A mixture of sound waves that don't sound pleasing with another.
- 21. Canal The curved surface of the outermost part of your ear and looks and acts like a funnel.
