- 1what is the equation for speeddistance divided by time
- 2how does area relate to pressurethe larger the area the smaller the pressure
- 3how does sound travelsound travels in a longitudinal wave
- 4how does the sound get to the auditory nervethe sound first goes to the auditory canal then to the ear drum. in the middle ear there is the three bones bypasses the oval window to the cochlea then through the semicircular canals and into the auditory nerve
- 5how is sound madesound is made by vibrations
- 6what is a wavea way of transferring energy
- 7how are waves causedwaves are caused by disturbances
- 8what is a longitudinal wavea wave which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel
- 9what is a transverse wavethe particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of travel
- 10what is amplitudethe number of waves passing a particular point per second
- 11what is the link between power and energythe power rating tells you how much energy is transferred per second, or the rate of transfer of energy
