Front

What do all waves carry as they travel from one place to another?

Back

Energy

Front

What does the arrow in a wave diagram typically represent?

Back

Wavelength

Front

What happens when you increase the amplitude of a sound?

Back

It makes the sound louder.

Front

What type of waves require a medium to travel?

Back

Mechanical waves.

Front

What does a high pitch sound indicate about its frequency?

Back

It has a high frequency.

Front

Define wavelength in the context of waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is amplitude in relation to sound waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave, which determines the loudness of the sound.

Front

What are mechanical waves?

Back

Waves that require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through.

Front

What are electromagnetic waves?

Back

Waves that do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.

Front

How does frequency relate to the pitch of a sound?

Back

Higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while lower frequency results in a lower pitch.
