Frequency is how many 'cycles' of a wave occur in one second, the amplitude is how large a wave is from the middle to the crest and the wavelength is the measure from crest to crest. A sound wave that has a bigger wavelength will have a low frequency, low pitch, and low energy. Pitch is related to frequency because the higher the frequency the higher the pitch is. The electromagnetic spectrum is the whole range of electromagnetic waves that are in order based on increasing frequency. Pitch is the highness or lowness of the sound created where the volume is how loud or quiet a sound is. Electromagnetic waves are electric and magnetic fields that move through space extremely fast. Sound waves are mechanical waves or a vibration of molecules.
S&EP Analyzing & Interpreting Data:
We did a lab on sound waves in class. We had to tap these tuning forks on hard surfaces and see what tune it would be, we would have to see what type of pattern depending on the what the type of tune the running fork detects. We put the tuning forks in water and the vibrations would make the water splash out.
