How would a person measure the wavelength on this sound wave?

beginning of illustration to the end

What happens when you increase the amplitude of a sound?

it makes the sound travel faster

it increases the wavelength of the sound

it increases the frequency of the sound

the number of vibrations per second

the loudness or softness of a sound

the back and forth movement of matter

The speed of a sound wave depends on

both air temperature and medium

the gradual decline in amplitude of a wave as energy dissipates

an object is forced to vibrate at its natural frequency.

sound changes speed in going from one medium to another.

As a sound source approaches and then moves past a stationary observer, the observer will hear

a rise in pitch, then a drop in pitch

a drop in pitch, then a rise in pitch

the amplitude of the sound wave

Why is sound able to travel faster through a solid than a gas?

Solid molecules are packed tightly.

Gas molecules are packed tightly.

Sound does not travel faster through a solid than a gas.

A note is played on a guitar. Next, a lower note is played on the guitar. Which of these statements describes the lower note?

The second note vibrated slower.

Both notes vibrated at the same speed.

The second note vibrates at a higher frequency.

The second note vibrated faster.

Why is sound able to travel faster through a solid than a gas?

Solid molecules are packed tightly.

Gas molecules are packed tightly.

Sound does not travel faster through a solid than a gas.

How do the air molecules move in a sound wave?

the air molecules themselves do not move. <

I am an astronaut, floating in my spacesuit in outer space. I see another astronaut, floating in her spacesuit. I want to communicate with her. Which method would be successful?

Which of the following best describes how a sound wave travels?

a marble dropped in a bowl of water

a car speeding up and down hills

Why does cupping your hands around your mouth when you shout make the sound travel further?

The sound energy is directed in one direction.
