Making music - Lesson 1

OUTCOME

By the end of the lesson you will recognise that a wave is a variation in energy through a medium. Be able to identify and apply wave properties. Recognise sound when represented at variations in pressure.

Sound is caused variations in a medium. In air a sound wave can be described by the periodic displacement of air particles around a central position. The oscillation is measured using amplitude, period, frequency and wavelength
