1. Identify the two properties of sound waves being compared: frequency and amplitude.
2. Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second, which corresponds to how closely packed the waves are.
3. Amplitude is defined as the height of each wave, which corresponds to the vertical distance from the rest position to the peak of the wave.
4. In the top-left quadrant, the waves are closely packed, indicating a high frequency.
5. In the top-right quadrant, the waves are spread out, indicating a low frequency.
6. In the bottom-left quadrant, the waves have a low height, indicating a low amplitude.
7. In the bottom-right quadrant, the waves have a high height, indicating a high amplitude.
8. Match the top-left quadrant (high frequency) with "NUMBER OF WAVES PER SECOND".
9. Match the top-right quadrant (low frequency) with "NUMBER OF WAVES PER SECOND".
10. Match the bottom-left quadrant (low amplitude) with "HEIGHT OF EACH WAVE".
11. Match the bottom-right quadrant (high amplitude) with "HEIGHT OF EACH WAVE".
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of sound waves worksheet middle school.
