Sound Waves

1

__________ The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are pushed together.

1

__________ When sound appears to change frequency as it moves past a listener.

1

__________ Something that a wave travels through.

1

__________ The rate at which work is done. This is equal to the amount of energy being produced.

1

__________ A part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart

1

__________ The increase in the amplitude of a wave when it comes into contact with external vibrations that match the object's natural frequency.

1

__________ The lowest part of a wave

1

__________ The maximum distance a point is moved from the rest position

1

__________ The highest part of a wave

1

__________ The number of waves that pass a point each second.

1

__________ Repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion

1

__________ Distance between two neighboring corresponding points on a wave (two crests, two troughs, etc)

1

__________ The distance a wave travels in a given amount of time.

2

__________ The distance moved up or down as the wave passes through

__________ The distance moved left or right as the wave passes through

__________   A disturbance that transfers sound energy from place to place.

__________    A wave that moves through a medium in the same direction (parallel) to the wave (appears to move from left to right)

__________   A wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave (Usually shown on graphs in an up/down movement)

__________   A wave that requires a medium to move through
