Restricting Sound Waves
by Tabatha Hancock
In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact forces are involved in sound traveling and how they might be able to stop sound from traveling. Students will conduct experiments designed to keep as much sound from traveling from a speaker to a decibel meter as possible. And finally students will identify similarities between good soundproofing setups in order to hypothesize why they worked.
