Wavy Gravy
This is defined as a disturbance in matter that transfers energy through the matter
What is a mechanical wave?
The maximum displacement of the medium from the rest position is known as this
What is amplification?
This is the Greek letter used to designate wavelength in the wave speed equation
What is lambda?
This is an indication of how high or low a sound is as determined by the frequency of the sound wave

These are longitudinal waves with frequencies between 20- 20,000 Hz
What are sonic waves?
This application of sound is used to map the ocean floor
What is sonar?
When the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels, the wave is knows as this kind
What is a longitudinal wave?
This is the distance between a point on one cycle of a wave and the same point on the next cycle
What is wavelength?
The rate at which a wave's energy flows through a given area is known as this
What is intensity?
This term describes sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 Hz
What are ultrasonic waves?
This sound of this instrument changes as the player presses keys while blowing air into a hole

This is the pyhsical response to sound's intensity
What is loudness?
This animal hears sounds with frequencies up to 100,000 Hz.
What is a bat?
This is the length of time it takes for a sonic wave to reflect off an obstacle and travel back to your ears
