Notes on Bill Nye Sounds Video

  • Sound is tiny vibrations in the air
  • Oscilloscope- makes sound waves visible
  • The ear is like a funnel that helps sound go into the eardrums
  • Sound travels faster through metal and brick faster than through air
  • Sound travels 18 times faster through metal than air
  • An echo happens when sound bounces off something
  • When sound enters the ear canal it becomes smaller
  • Higher frequency = Higher pitch
  • Lower frequency = Lower pitch
