Sound Waves

If you want to change the pitch of a sound, you have to change the ___

• frequency
• amplitude
• speed
• volume

This is the unit used to measure the volume of a sound. 

• Decibel
• Medium
• Vibration
• Oscilloscope

This is what you get when sound waves are reflected, or bounce back, off of a hard surface.

• Amplitude
• Pitch
• Volume
• Echo

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
