Sound waves are:
Answer: Sound waves are longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions.
Answer: Resonance occurs when driving frequency matches natural frequency.
Answer: Diffraction is the bending and spreading of waves around obstacles.
Answer: Speed of sound in air is approximately 343 m/s.
Answer: h = 1/2 gt2 = 1/2 x 9.8 x 1 = 4.9 m.
Answer: Power is the rate of doing work, P = W/t.
Answer: Speed of sound increases with temperature as molecules move faster.
Answer: F = Gm1m2/r2, proportional to the product of masses.
Answer: Superposition applies to all types of waves.
Answer: Pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound wave.
Answer: Frequency depends on the source and does not change.
Answer: Wave speed equals frequency times wavelength.
Answer: Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive identical points.
Answer: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Answer: Hooke\'s Law: F = kx, where k is spring constant and x is displacement.
Answer: Nodes are points of zero displacement in a standing wave.
