Q: How does sound transmit when the medium changes?

Answer:


-Sound will travel the most readily through a medium that is continuous, that does not change in

its properties from one place to another.

- Air is a medium.

- Air molecules oscillate with sound.

- Energy transmits through similar mediums.

- Change of medium will change if the sound is reflected or transmitted.

between 500 Hz and 4000 Hz?

Answer:

- You first have to determine how many octaves there are, then multiply by 12 to get the

semitones.

Q: What are the three things one should know about the 12 notes between octaves?

Answer:

- Each step in nonlinear.

- Each step upward is bigger than the last (about 5.9% higher in frequency).
