• Standing wave
• Longitudinal wave
• Transverse wave

• S-wave
• Surface wave
• P-wave
• Tsunami wave

By studying the light wave of distant stars, planets and solar systems, what has the doppler effect revealed about the nature of our universe?

Why cant sound travel through space?

• Sound cannot travel through space because there is no medium (like air) for it to propagate.
• Sound can travel through space if it is loud enough.
• It doesn't have enough frequency

• Sound can travel through space because it is a form of light.

What wave property do we use to categorize different forms of light on the EM spectrum?

• Amplitude
• Wavelength
• Speed
• Index of Refraction

A perceived increase or decrease in frequency of a sound based on its movement and relative position of the observer.

• Acoustic shadow
• Doppler effect
• Hubble's Law

• Malus's Law

What controls the pitch of the sound wave? This is whether a sound wave sounds low(bass) or high(treble).

• Amplitude of the sound wave
• Duration of the sound wave
• Waveform shape of the sound wave
• Frequency of the sound wave
