    Key Questions:

    1. (HT and Physics Only) How can objects in deep water be detected?
      • (HT and Physics Only) Echo sounding, using high frequency sound waves is used to detect objects in deep water and measure water depth.
    2. (Physics only) How do sound waves travel?
      • Sound waves can travel through solids causing vibrations in the solid.
    3. (Physics only) What causes the sensation of sound?
      • Within the ear, sound waves cause the ear drum and other parts to vibrate which causes the sensation of sound.
    4. (Physics only) What restricts the limits of human hearing?
      • The conversion of sound waves to vibrations of solids works over a limited frequency range.
    5. (Physics only) What causes wave disturbances between sound waves and vibrations in solids?
      • Examples may include the effect of sound waves on the ear drum.
    6. (Physics only)
    7. (Physics only) What is the normal range of human hearing?
      • The range of normal human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
