1 Section 2: Properties of Sound (p. 539) Name an example of each of the following from your everyday life. 1. a soft sound: 2. a loud sound: 3. a high-pitched sound: 4. a low-pitched sound: The Speed of Sound Depends on the Medium (p. 539) 5. How quickly a sound reaches your ears depends on how loud it is. True or False? (Circle one.) 6. How quickly a sound reaches your ears depends on the medium through which the sound is traveling. True or False? (Circle one.) 7. What did Chuck Yeager accomplish in 1947? 8. In general, as the medium cools, the speed of sound. (increases or decreases) 9. When particles slow down a. they transmit energy more quickly. b. they transmit energy more slowly. c. they gain kinetic energy. d. None of the above Pitch Depends on Frequency (p. 540) 10. In a guitar, pitch is NOT related to a. the frequency of the sound wave. b. the thickness of the guitar string. c. the number of sound waves produced in a given time. d. how far away the guitar is from your ear. 156 HOLT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
