What happens to the pitch of sound if the box is elongated?

The pitch gets lower as the wavelength expands


Determine which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


How ear defenders effect pitch and amplitude of sound?

I think because as the sound waves loose energy the frequency becomes less frequent so the pitch gets lower


In general as the energy of a sound wave increases?

the sound gets louder


When a sound source approaches you does it get higher or lower?

Higher. Well, the pitch gets higher. Frequency itself can never change. Pitch is our perception of frequency. The change in pitch due to position is known as the Doppler Effect.


How do you think the wave from a loud sound compares to the wave from a soft sound?

The amplitude (The height of the wave) of the wave increases as the sound gets louder.


The lower the frequency the what the pitch sound?

You're probably think of the Doppler effect, which is the change of the frequency of a signal depending on the motion of the observer relative to the signal source. The typical example involves a car horn and a person standing on the side of the road. If you are standing still next to a stopped car and its horn sounds, you will hear a certain pitch. If the same horn is sounded as the car is driving toward you, the pitch you perceive will be higher - the higher the car speed, the higher the pitch. If the car is driving away from you, the pitch will be lower. This is because the motion of the car is causing the sound waves to compress (driving toward you) or stretch (driving away from you), increasing or decreasing the frequency and raising or lowering the pitch.

What lets you know that the source of a sound is moving toward or away from you?

When a sound-source moves toward you, its pitch gets higher and the sound gets louder. When it moves away, the pitch lowers and it gets quieter. The frequency change is called the Doppler shift.


What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".


What happens to the sound as it gets farther away from the object making the sound?

the sod makes a higher pitch
