vibration

Presents an introduction to sound, explaining how sounds are produced and heard, featuring a demonstration of vibration, and looking at the various ways sound travels.

This book describes the properties of sound and the part it plays in communication, entertainment, navigation, health care, and industry covering such terms as decibels, sonar, ultrasound, amplitude, and more.

Examines how animals use vibrations to "hear" the earth in order to survive, including elephants, spiders, snakes, and rodents. Features a glossary, a website for further information, and color photographs.

Contains information on elephants and other animals that can hear sound through vibrations.

"Ticking clocks, claps of thunder, the human voice—sound is anything that can be heard. Hearing sound is one thing, but understanding just how it works and what its properties are is quite another. Answering these questions and others concerning supersonic speed and breaking the sound barrier, how the human voice and ear work, and the age-old question of whether a tree falling in the forest unobserved makes any noise, this volume provides an accessible yet detailed and amply illustrated guide to the science of sound. Also included are several fun projects, which allow readers to explore in a hands-on way the nature, quality, and behavior of sound" -- Provided by publisher.

Sound is created through vibrations that vary in pitch and volume. This creates sound-waves that you can hear. Includes experiments.

Follows the adventures of Max Axiom as he explains the science behind sound. Written in graphic-novel format.

Exploring Sound is an exciting new series that focuses on how sounds are made, how we hear sounds, and how and why sounds vary in pitch, frequency, and volume.

Contains hands-on science projects for students to help them understand how sounds are heard. Includes illustrations, photographs, and diagrams.
