Facts about Sound…

January 13, 2010 1 comment

Sound is a form of energy.

Sound is caused by vibrations.

Vibrating objects make sound. This sound is passed to our ears and that is how we hear.

We hear a sound when the vibrating hits our ear drums.

Sound gets louder when the vibrations increase or get harder. The harder your hit something the louder the sound e.g. hitting a drum.

Sound travles through air and other materials such as wood, water, stone, glass and brick.

Pitch is how high or how low a note is.

The shorter the vibration the higher the pitch.

Test your knowledge on sounds by taking the following quiz!!!
