Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?

59% Answer Correctly

liquid

solid

vacuum

none of these is a medium for sound waves

The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


3

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

frequency

volume

amplitude

period


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


4
