0.1 Hz.
100
This wave travels at right angles with respect to the motion of the material through which it travels.
What is a transverse wave?
100
The pitch of sound depends on this.
What is the frequency?
100
This is what happens to frequency if an observer moves towards a sound source
What is increase?
200
The distance between identical parts of a wave.
What is the wavelength?
200

200
A closed ended instrument producing a standing wave with 3 antinodes is this harmonic.
What is the 5th harmonic?
300
The time for one wavelength to pass a position.

Waves travel through the ocean. The distance from crest to crest is 1 m. It takes 2 seconds for one wave to pass. The speed of the waves is...
What is 0.5 m/s?
400
These are areas in a standing wave with maximum amplitude
What is an antinode?
400
This occurs when the frequency of a forced vibration matches an object's natural frequency, and a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs.
What is resonance?
400
When two waves line up, their resulting wave becomes the sum of the two waves. This is known as______.
Principle of Superposition (Interference)
500
This property of a wave depends on the material through which the wave moves.
What is the wave speed?
500
To go from the 1st harmonic to the 3rd harmonic, you must do this to the frequency.
What is triple the frequency? (Which cuts the wavelength in third)
500
Points in a wave are known as this if they overlap to produce destructive interference.
What is out of phase?
500
Sound generally travels fastest through ________ and slowest through ______.
