Worksheet C: Sound waves on a CRO

1. Using the diagram above, describe how the waves seen on the screen of a CRO match the
properties of a sound wave.

2. Match the following terms with their correct description:

waves spread apart


high pitch small amplitude
(long wavelength)
low pitch high frequency waves appear tall
waves bunched up
loud low frequency
(short wavelength)
quiet large amplitude waves appear short

3. Sketch a diagram for each of the following sound waves on a CRO.

high volume low volume high pitch low pitch

Worksheet D: Measuring sound waves

The picture above shows the screen of a CRO connected to a signal generator.

1. Explain why accurate measurements can be made more easily using a signal generator than a
microphone.

3. Draw the wave forms produced if the sound was changed in the following ways:

The same amplitude but twice the


Twice the amplitude and half the frequency.
