300

What is loundness

human perception of sound volume and primarily depends on sound intensity.

300

Higher pitch is equal too

Higher frequency

300

what is frequency in a longitudinal wave, such as sound 

number of compressions (or rarefactions) that pass by a given point per second

300

The highest point on a wave is

300

Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of _______________ of electromagnetic waves.  

Frequencies

400

What property of a sound wave determines its loudness?

The amplitude of the sound wave determines its loudness; a larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound.
