T The number of vibrations (waves) in a bit of time is known as the frequency of a wave. What is the frequency of a wave?

T Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) which means number per second. What unit is frequency measured in?

W The higher the frequency of sound, the higher the pitch. What is the relationship between frequency and the sound produced?

T An oscilloscope can be used to view the the very fast changing signals produced by a microphone or signal generator.

W The closer the peaks on an oscilloscope the higher the frequency of the signal and therefore the wave. What does a high frequency signal look like on an oscilloscope, compared to a low frequency signal?

T The taller the peaks on an oscilloscope the higher the amplitude of the signal and therefore wave. What does a high amplitude signal look like on an oscilloscope, compared to a low amplitude signal?

W The higher the amplitude of the wave, the more energy in the wave and therefore the louder the sound. What is the relationship between energy and amplitude?

A Students can describe both the wave and the sound from a oscilloscope trace.
