Front

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave

Back

sound

Front

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each second

Back

frequency

Front

Material (matter) through which a wave travels

Back

medium

Front

When the sound source moves, the frequency changes
ex. police car siren sounding lower pitch after the car passes

Back
