What is the rate of vibration of a sound called?
Frequency
What is rate of vibration of a sound is called?
Frequency
The rate of vibration of a sound is called its?
The rate, cycles per second, for any repeating process (including waves) is called its frequency. The basic unit is the Hertz, meaning, how many cycles per second there are.
What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increase the rate of vibration?
the amplitude increases
Why a siren changes pitch as it approaches and passes us?
This is called the Doppler Effect, a physics phenomenon that makes the sound of an approaching siren in an ambulance appear to be higher pitched as well as louder, but starts to immediately drop in intensity and pitch as it moves away from you. This is due to the apparent "compression" of the waves as they approach the observer (increases frequency), followed by "stretching" of the waves (decreases frequency) as they move away.

What characteristic of sound is determined by frequency?
Vibration and rate of vibration.
What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increase the rate of vibration?
the amplitude increases
How can sound be changeed by changing the rate of vibration?
It would be different pich
What happens to a sound when its rate of vibration decreases?
It becomes a lower frequency.
How does the speed of an object's vibration affects its sound?
Sound is the way that our ears and brains interpret compression waves (waves parallel to the direction of travel of the wave). As an object vibrates, it compresses and decompresses the air around it very quickly creating a compression wave. When the frequency of the object's vibration is faster, the rate at which it compresses and decompresses the air around it also is faster, meaning that our ears pick up a higher pitched sound. Slower vibrations create a lower pitched sound.
How does sound travel from the instrument to your ears?
well, when the istrument is played, something of it would vibrate, this vibration causes waves (called sound waves) to travel through the air. These waves then hit a small part inside our ear, called an eardrum, these vibrations are then sent to our brain through tiny nerves attached to the eardrum.
What is the difference between pitch and vibration?
The term vibration can be used to described a repetitive motion of something like, say, the string of a musical instrument. A string could be said to vibrate at a certain rate. The vibration creates sound at a given number of cycles per second (the rate or frequency of vibration), and this gives the vibration a certain pitch or note.
Does sound volume increase with heart rate?
yes because you can fill the sound waves through the surface that your heart vibrates
How the wavelengths of a wave changes if the waves slow down and its frequency doesn't change?
the frequancy of a wave is always equal to the rate of vibration of the source that creates it.
