Think Pair Share
Discuss with your partner what you saw in the video.
Draw a conclusion for how you think the flame was able to be extinguished, or put out, with only a human voice.
Nature of Sound Waves
When an object, like a radio speaker or guitar string vibrates, it collides with nearby particles in the air, transferring some of the energy to them.
The process of collisions & energy transfer forms a sound wave.
Nature of Sound Waves
What type of mechanical wave are sound waves?
Longitudinal/compressional waves~ compress and expand as they travel.(Think of the movement of a slinky toy as it transfers energy.)
Nature of Sound Waves
Sound waves are mechanical waves~ they require a medium through which to travel.
What do footsteps sound like on the moon?
Nature of Sound Waves
On the moon, there is no atmosphere and therefore no particles for energy to transfer. No matter = no sound waves.
How can astronauts
communicate in space?
Behavior of Sound Waves
Behavior of sound waves: Sound waves can be reflected~ sonar uses reflected sound waves to detect objects underwater.
Nature of Sound Waves
Can sound waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases?
Yes, solids, liquids, and gases carry sound waves.
Speed of Sound Waves
With the knowledge that sound waves need particles in order to transfer energy, Think Pair Share with your partner to answer the following question:
In what material~ solid, liquid, or gas, do sound waves travel the fastest? The slowest?
Speed of Sound Waves
Which material allows sound waves to travel faster?
TRY THIS: knock gently on the top of your desk.
Now, press your ear against the top of your desk and knock gently.
Speed of Sound Waves
What did you notice or observe about the sounds you heard?
What inference can you make about why this occurred?
Speed of Sound Waves
When particles are closer together, such as in liquids and especially solids, energy is transmitted quicker. Therefore, the speed of sound waves depends on the material it is passing through.

Speed of Sound Waves
Speed does NOT depend on loudness~loud and soft sound waves travel at the same speed.
