Chapter 26: Sound

Pace: 5 class periods
Checkpoint:  XX March

Essential Questions
  1. P4.5  Mechanical Wave Propagation

    Vibrations in matter initiate mechanical waves (e.g., water waves, sound waves, seismic waves), which may propagate in all directions and decrease in intensity in proportion to the distance squared for a point source.Waves transfer energy from one place to another without transferring mass.

    1. P4.5A  Identify everyday examples of energy transfer by waves and their sources.

    2. P4.5B  Explain why an object (e.g., fishing bobber) does not move forward as a wave passes under it.

    3. P4.5C  Provide evidence to support the claim that sound is energy transferred by a wave, not energy transferred by particles.

    4. P4.5D  Explain how waves propagate from vibrating sources and why the intensity decreases with the square of the distance from a point source.

    5. P4.5E  Explain why everyone in a classroom can hear one person speaking, but why an amplification system is often used in the rear of a large concert auditorium.

    1.  


Standards Covered:
  • P4.4A  Describe specific mechanical waves (e.g., on a demonstration spring, on the ocean) in terms of wavelength, amplitude, frequency, and speed.
  • P4.4B  Identify everyday examples of transverse and compression (longitudinal) waves. 
  • P4.4C  Compare and contrast transverse and compression (longitudinal) waves in terms of wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.
  • 4.4d Demonstrate that frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional in a given medium. 
  • P4.4e Calculate the amount of energy transferred by transverse or compression waves of different amplitudes and frequencies
PreTest and Differentiation
Pre-test data will be collected and used by the teacher to offer alternative projects to demonstrate mastery. You may also self select for an alternative assignment upon conferencing with your teacher.  Please talk to your teacher if you have any questions.
