Sound is a type of energy.
Sound travels in longitudinal waves.
Sound is produced by vibrations.
Sound, once produced, travels upwards.
Sound travels fastest in low density mediums.
The speed of sound in a medium depends on: (Mark all that apply)
Density
Temperature
Elasticity
Ambient Light
Which of these is true?
The sun gives us light but not sound.
The sun generates sound but it doesn't reach us because sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
The sound that reaches the Earth from the sun is not in the hearable frequency.

More shrill
Louder
More melodious
One compression and one rarefaction make up a

Mark all the pairs that are correctly matched:
Frequency - Pitch
High temperature = High wave speed
Amplitude = Loudness
Tension = Loudness
