By the end of this section, you will be able to define antinode, node, fundamental, overtones, and harmonics; identify instances of sound interference in everyday situations; describe how sound interference occurring inside open and...

By the end of this section, you will be able to define intensity, sound intensity, and sound pressure level and to calculate sound intensity levels in decibels (dB).

A series of lesson plans on the topic of sound waves. Hands-on activities and a student worksheet are included.

This site has several lessons all about sound. It introduces sound, then covers major principles of waves and the wave equation. Each lesson has interactive activities to keep you interested, and there are even some test questions.

Study the details of sound from characteristics to speed, ultrasound, infrasound, and other aspects of sound waves.

The concept of pitch and frequency is covered in this tutorial. Learn what frequency and pitch are, the difference between infra sound and ultrasonic frequencies, and how pitch is related to the frequency of a sound.

Information about the interference of sound and its causes. Well-illustrated and good explanations of the concepts; part of a large hyper-textbook on various physics concepts.

A physics tutorial on designing an auditorium and solving the problem of sound reflection. Illustrated.

Here is described a simple process to 'put a voice on a sunbeam' and transmit it over a distance. It is a fascinating example of amplitude modulation of light using sound vibrations. It then describes how the modulated light is detected...

Understand how trigonometric functions can model periodic behavior. See the application of periodic behavior, amplitude, frequency in sound waves. Make sure to turn up your sound to load an audio file to play the given tone of the...

Try this experiment to see how sound transmits as vibrations through solid matter. You will use a toothbrush to listen to the radio.

Resource provides great information on buckyballs. Description of a process to identify and determine the size and type of fullerenes. Excellent movie on basic fullerene information. Pictures are also included for further information....

This site is an overview of how to read music. The basics of notation such as note and rest values, the names of lines and spaces of both treble and bass clefs, etc. are covered. Includes downloadable audio files.

Read a passage about the doppler effect in living tissue and answer the follow-up questions.
