Sound Waves
A quick back and forth movement.
What is a vibration.
The distance between two troughs or two crests.
What is a wavelength.
A sound wave is this type of wave.
What is a longitudinal.
The bouncing back of a sound wave off of a barrier creates?
What is an echo.
How high or low a sound is.
What is pitch.
A light wave is what type of wave?
What is transverse.
The intensity of a wave tells us the sounds?
What is volume.
A sound wave can not travel through outer space because of the lack of .
What is matter.
Sound is measured by this.
What is a decibel.
The distance between the equilibrium line (resting point) and the crest.
What is amplitude.
The number of wave cycles that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency.
If I wanted to decrease the intensity of a sound I would need to decrease the waves?
What is amplitude (energy)
Three mediums sound can travel through.
What is gas, liquid, and solid.
Particles move up and down on this type of wave.
What is a transverse wave.
If I want to increase the pitch of a sound I should increase a waves?
