Sound Waves
Timeline
November 1st: I decided to brainstormed possible topics about sound waves, what interests me and what I would like to learn about.
November 4th: I started to research the basics and a sound wave and its properties. I also to notes on what a sound wave is and how frequency affects a sound wave.
November 7th:
Possible Topics
What is a sound wave
The Nature Of a Sound Wave
Sound waves through different mediums
Instrumental sound waves
How microphones and headphones work
How humans interpret sound (range of hearing)
Convert Sound Waves Into Electromagnetic Energy
The Speed of Sound
The Doppler effect
Properties
How you measure sound waves
Real life examples on sound waves
Wild life sound waves
Reflection, Refraction, and Diffraction
Forced Vibration
Standing Wave Patterns

Future Plan
Project Day: Bring in speakers, instruments and different mediums. Also incorporate Ruben’s tube. We want show everyone how sound waves are in our everyday life’s and that they surround us all the time.
What are Sound Waves?
Sound is a part of our everyday experience. Just as humans have eyes for the detection of light and color, so we are equipped with ears for the detection of sound. We seldom take the time to understand the characteristics and behaviours of sound and the mechanisms by which sounds are produced and detected. The basis for an understanding of sound, music and hearing is the physics of waves. Sound is a wave that is created by vibrating objects and sent through a medium from one location to another. In this report, we will investigate the properties, behaviours of sound waves and apply basic wave principles towards
