a vibration
a longitudinal wave
a pitch
a medium
The amplitude of a sound's wave determines the sound's
pitch
quality
loudness
resonance
The motion of the listener or the source of sound causes
resonance
shock waves
echoes

The frequency of sound waves determine
quality
type of interference
pitch
loudness
When a wave bends while moving from one medium to another
refraction
reflection
rarefaction
resonance
For a sound wave to produce an echo, it must
diffract
have long wavelengths
reflect off surfaces
have a high pitch
As a wavelength increases, the frequency
decreases
increases
stays the same
fluctuates up and down
Amplitude relates to
height of the wave
wavelength
wave speed
