    The document is a worksheet with questions about the speed of sound. It provides information like the speed of sound in air being 340 m/s at 0°C and increasing by 0.6 m/s for every degree above 0°C. It then asks questions that require using this information and equations relating speed, frequency, wavelength, and distance to calculate values like how far away lightning was based on the time delay of the sound.

    Name: ___________________ Score: ____ 6.

    We see a bolt of lightning and 4 s later we hear the


    Grade & Section: ___________ Date: _____ thunderclap. If the speed of sound in air is 0.2 m/s, how far
    LRN: _____________ away is the lightning?
    Parent’s Signature: ___________

    Direction. Answer the following. Write your answer on the


    space provided. In problem solving show your solution using
    GRESA and use the space provided.

    1. The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the 7. How many seconds will it take an echo to reach your ears
    ________________________ through which it travels. if you yell toward a mountain 95 m away on a day when the air
    Sound travels fastest in _______________________ temperature is 45 oC?
    (solids, liquids, gases) and slowest in _________________.

    2. The speed of sound in air depends on the


    ______________________ of the air. At 0 oC, the speed
    of sound in air is _____________________ m/s. For every
    degree above 0oC, the speed ______________________
    by 0.6 m/s. For every degree below 0oC, the speed
    _______________by 0.6 m/s.
    The equation is: 8. You look up and see a helicopter pass directly overhead.
    3.10s later you hear the sound of the engine. If the air
    m/s temperature is 23.0oC, how high was the helicopter flying?
    V = ________m/s + (0.6m o ) (___)
    C

    3. What is the speed of sound at 35 oC?

    9. Navy ships use sonar (sound navigation and ranging) to


    detect submarines. A sound pulse sent by the ship reflects
    off the submarine. If the submarine is 2.2 km away from the
    ship, and the speed of sound in seawater is 1400 m/s, how
    long will it take the sound pulse to travel out and back?
    4. Other than the velocity/temperature equation, there are
    two important equations involving the speed of sound:

    and
    V = ____x_____ V = _____

    Rearrange one equation to solve for:

    f = _________; λ =__________
    Rearrange the other to solve for:
    10. A person is listening with his ear against the rail for an
    d = __________; t = __________ oncoming train. When the train is 1.65 km away, how long will
    it take him to hear the sound of the whistle? (The speed of
    5. What is the wavelength of the wave in air at 34 oC if the sound in steel is 5200 m/s.)
    cymbals produce a frequency of 320 Hz? How long would it take his friend who is standing nearby to
    hear the same whistle if the air temperature is 0oC?
