Self Check - Sound

This document provides a self-check for students to review key concepts and skills from Chapter 15 on Sound. It lists what students should know, such as how sound propagates through compression and rarefaction waves, that sound needs a medium to transmit, and the relationships between pitch/frequency and loudness/amplitude. It also lists what students should be able to do, like describe how sound is produced, compare sound speeds in different materials, relate loudness to amplitude and pitch to frequency, describe how echoes are formed, and define and discuss uses of ultrasound.
