    The document provides a worksheet matching science/engineering terms related to sound and music terms. It includes terms like wavelength, frequency, amplitude, transverse waves, longitudinal waves, pitch, notes, loudness. It also provides short definitions for sound wave transmission and how musical instruments can vary sound through changing the vibrating length or opening valves.

    Sound and Music Worksheet

    Match both the science/engineering terms on the left and the music terms on the right
    with the definitions in the middle. You will use some of the definiitons twice.

    J J
    ____ Low Frequency A. Waves in the air caused by vibrations ____ Low note
    C B. Waves that move in one direction,
    ____ Longitudinal Waves but "wave" in another direction E
    ____ Pitch
    C. Waves that move and "wave"
    E F
    ____ Frequency in the same direction ____ Dynamic level
    G D. The distance between one wave
    ____ High Amplitude and the next wave H
    ____ Soft note
    L E. How often a single wave goes by
    ____ White Noise F. How big the difference is between M
    ____ Music
    the high points and the low points
    F Amplitude
    ____ I
    ____ High note
    of the waves
    G. Big difference between highs and lows
    A A
    ____ Sound Waves H. Small difference between highs and lows ____ Sounds
    K I. Lots of short waves
    ____ Standing Waves J. Very few long waves G
    ____ Loud note
    B K. Waves that can keep vibrating in or on
    ____ Transverse Waves something for a long time
    because they "fit"
    D
    ____ Wavelength L. A sound that is a mixture of all wavelengths
    I M. Sounds that are organized by people
    ____ High Frequency
    H
    ____ Low Amplitude

    Give short answers:

    1. Can sound travel through empty space? Why or why not?


    No; there can be no sound vibrations where there is nothing to vibrate.

    2. How are sound waves like water waves? How are they not like water waves?
    Both can have frequency and amplitude, but water waves are transverse
    and sound waves are longitudinal.
    3. Name 2 ways a player of a musical instrument can change the sound of the instrument.
    They can make the pitch higher or lower or make the sound louder or softer.

    4. How can an instrument with only 4 strings get more than 4 different pitches?
    You can make the vibrating part of the string shorter, and the pitch higher,
    by holding the string down with one finger.
    5. When a trumpet player pushes down a valve, she opens an extra loop of tubing.
    What does this do to the trumpet? To the sound?
    This in effect makes the trumpet longer, so the sound is lower.
