Wave that requires a medium
What is a mechanical wave?
How you measure amplitude in a transverse wave
What is trough to rest
Medium that light travels the fastest in
What is a vacuum?
How could someone find if one wave has a higher or lower pitch compared to another wave?
By finding the frequency

Two things needed to make a full longitudinal wave
What is a compression and rarefraction?
If sound went through a vacuum to glass would it speed up or slow down?
Speed up
If a wave has a frequency of 6 Hz and another with 3 Hz which wave would have a higher pitch
The wave with the 6 Hz
