Is it true that sound can travel through a vacuum?
Remember the characteristics of space.
A tuning fork emits a sound wave at 440 Hz. If this sound is transmitted through air and then through steel, explain how the pitch and loudness may change.
Consider both the speed of sound and the properties of sound waves.
If a sound wave is traveling in air at 343 m/s and the temperature rises, predict how this influences the travel speed. Explain your reasoning.
Reflect on the relationship between temperature and molecular movement.
