The reason you can’t hear sound while in a vacuum Because it is a mechanical wave, it needs a medium Category 1 - 10
The speed of sound will change if you change its: Medium Medium Amplitude Loudness Category 1 - 20
When I crank up the volume on my radio I’m not only changing how loud my radio is, I’m also changing a sound wave’s Amplitude
The units of frequency Hertz (Hz)
Like vibrating wine glasses, an object that is vibrating at its natural frequency is experiencing: Resonance

It takes 2 seconds for two cycles to pass through a point It takes 2 seconds for two cycles to pass through a point. What is the period of this wave? 1 second
Sound moves in what direction? Away from sound source in all directions
What creates sound waves The vibration of an object?
True of False: Sound waves are longitudinal
An apparent change in frequency in sound emitted by a moving source is known as? The Doppler Effect
This figure shows the movement of a noisy car and the sound waves it produces, at which point would an observer hear the highest frequency? A
What is the unit for loudness? decibels
The longer the wavelength of a wave, the _____ the frequency and therefore the pitch? Smaller/lower
A reflected sound wave is called An echo
Uses of reflected sound waves include Echolocation, Ultrasounds and SONAR.
