Sound Wave Summary

GCSE Physics

Sound waves can be represented on an oscilloscope (using a microphone).

GCSE Physics

The taller the waves on the screen, the larger their amplitude, and the louder the sound picked up by the microphone.

GCSE Physics

The more waves there are in a given time, the higher the frequency, so the higher the pitch.
