resonance
wavelength
vibration
Sound travels in -
streams
waves

liquids
What is the relationship between the frequencies and wavelengths of sound waves?
As the sound frequency increases, so does its wavelength.
As the sound frequency increases, its wavelength decreases.
As sound frequency increases, its wavelength first increases and then decreases, in cycles.
Sound frequencies and wavelengths are not related.
Sound is a form of --
pitches
waves
