NATURAL SCIENCE UNIT 5: LIGHT, SOUND AND HEAT

SOUND



Sound comes from vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves (NOT STRAIGHT LINES) which move through mediums such as air and water before reaching our ears.

Our ears vibrate in a similar way to the original source of the vibration, allowing us to hear many different sounds.
