sound

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave

• sound
• wavelength
• pitch
• frequency

travels through solids fastest because the molecules are closer together

• speed of sound
• wavelength
• frequency
• amplitude

The number of wavelengths that pass a point each second

• frequency
• wavelength
• pitch
• amplitude

Material (matter) through which a wave travels

• medium
• Doppler Effect
• sound
• pitch

How high or low a sound is; depends on the frequency (greater frequency= higher pitch)

• pitch
• frequency
• sound
• medium

A wave in which the vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling; sound waves

• longitudinal wave
• ocean wave
• transverse wave
• mechanical wave

What is the Doppler Effect

• Where the wavelength of a wave is shifted due to the source moving

• When a wave is shifted when a body pushes the wave

• Where the apparent wavelength of a wave is shifted due to the source moving

______________ is the amount of energy in a sound wave.

• Amplitude
• Echo
• Volume
• Vibration

• gases
• solids
• liquids

The volume of a sound is measured in units called ________

• decibels
• liters
• sound waves
• inches per minute
