How high or low a sound is; depends on the frequency.

• pitch

• frequency

• sound

• medium

The amplitude of a sound wave determines the sound wave's

• frequency

• pitch

• wavelength

• volume

A sound wave can be created by

• A source of vibration, causing longitudinal waves that require a medium to travel

• A source of vibration, causing transverse waves that require a medium to travel

• A source of vibration, causing longitudinal waves that do not require a medium to travel

• A source of vibration, causing transverse waves that do not require a medium to travel

Sound does not travel in space because

• Space is too far away.
• There is no matter in space.
• Space is the final frontier
• Space has planets.
