What is "compression" and "rarefaction"?
Rapid movement of air molecules to produce silence.
The matter that a sound wave impacts to create sound.
The part of the sound wave that has little to do with sound.
When air molecules are forced together and then move apart to create sound.
What is frequency?
The height of the sound wave that the human ear perceives as volume.
The number of wave cycles per second, that the human ear perceives as variable low and high tones.
What is amplitude?
The height of the sound wave that the human ear perceives as volume.
The number of wave cycles per second, that the human ear perceives as variable low and high tones.
True or false: amplitude is measured in decibels (dB) and frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).
True

What is phase cancellation?
When a complex wave is created from multiple sound waves with opposite states of pressure.
When a complex wave is created from two sound waves with identical states of pressure.
When a complex wave is created from multiple different sound waves with variable states of pressure.
When a complex wave is separated into individual sound waves.
True or false: Lower frequencies can travel through solid objects better than higher frequencies.
True
False
True or False: When you're editing, if you cut the high frequencies of a sound, so that we only hear the lower frequencies, the sound will seem further away.
