📚 Sound Vibrations: A Quick Study Guide
- 🌊 What is Sound? Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through mediums like air, water, or solids.
- 👂 How We Hear: When sound waves reach our ears, they cause our eardrums to vibrate. These vibrations are then turned into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.
- 📢 Everyday Examples: Many things around us create sound vibrations, from musical instruments to our own voices.
- 📏 Frequency and Pitch: Frequency measures how many vibrations occur per second (Hertz - Hz). Higher frequency means a higher pitch.
- 🔊 Amplitude and Loudness: Amplitude refers to the size of the vibration. Larger amplitude means a louder sound.
