What happens when you increase the amplitude of a sound?

• it makes the sound louder
• it makes the sound travel faster
• it increases the wavelength of the sound
• it increases the frequency of the sound

What is frequency?

• any disturbance that transmits energy through a medium
• the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave
• the number of waves produced in a given amount of time
• when the particles in a longitudinal wave are spread apart

What is a medium?

• something between a small and a large?
• the substance through which a wave can travel
• a pattern of vibration that simulates when a wave is standing still
• the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave
