• neither

Amplitude reflects the amount of ____________________ in a wave.

• energy
• compression
• rarefaction
• speed

Which wave has a greater frequency?

Sound is caused by? 

• force
• vibrations
• instruments
• medium

Waves that require a medium are called 

• mechanical waves
• transverse waves
• light waves

• its wavelength gets longer
• its frequency increases
• its wavelength decreases

You can't hear sounds in outer space because there is no

• matter
• light
• energy
• heat

The longer the _____________  the ______________ the frequency.

• wavelength, lower
• wavelength, higher
• amplitude, lower
• amplitude, higher
