The
water bottle xylophone is played by a person striking bottles filled with different
amounts of water there. The bottles are filled to specific amounts so that the
waves change distance they have to travel to crash in the water. You change the
notes by striking a different bottle. The note is formed when the striking of
the object against the bottle shoots into the container and takes a set amount
of time to disrupt the water in the bottle producing a different note. This
makes me think that sound is changed and produce by sound waves interacting
with a medium of different distances and tensions in order to create the unique
sound. I think you can conclude that with a longer distance for the wave to
travel the deeper the sound will be because the more spread out the wave will
be at the point of impact.
