SSR Finally! Those of you who are always reading during class…are allowed to read right now!!!
ScienceTuesday, November 5th (week 2) Day: 10hr 33min Rise-6:41 Set-5:15 Moon: waxing crescent, 5% illuminated Objectives: I will describe sound.
Warm Up! Question: Draw and label the parts of a transverse wave.
Important Information Due Today: Bellwork Week 1was due yesterday. Homework Tonight: Get your report card slip signed! Upcoming Events: Early Release on Friday
Getting the Message As you listen, write down any information you can get from listening to the sound clips. http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih3/hearing/activities/lesson1.htm
Huh? • Why could you not understand what was being said in tracks 1-4? • What makes languages different?
Do You Hear What I Hear? Objectives: * be able to explain that loudness is related to the amplitude of the sound wave, while pitch is related to its frequency * understand the humans do not hear all pitches equally well; loudness must be increased to detect certain pitches http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih3/hearing/activities/lesson3.htm
Transverse Waves* • Crest- highest point on a wave • Amplitude- Volume of a wave (height of a wave) • As wave height increases, volume increases • Measured in Decibels • Trough- lowest point on a wave • Frequency- Pitch, high or low (length of a wave) • As wavelength increases, pitch decreases • Measured in Hertz
Amplitude versus Frequency Amplitude • Which one will have the higher volume? Frequency • Which one will have the higher pitch?
What can you hear? Decibels (dB): Volume • Normal Speech: 60dB • Library: 40dB • Close Whisper: 20dB • Jet Engine: 140dB • Loud Rock Music: 110dB • Subway Train: 100dB • Busy Street Traffic: 70dB • 120dB or above usually causes pain to the ear Hertz (Hz): Pitch • Young people can hear frequencies between 20-20,000 Hz • Dogs can hear frequencies that range from 67-45,000 Hz • As you age, your ability to hear high frequency sound decreases.
