How does a sound wave begin?

• Vibration of a medium

• Transfer of heat

• In our ears

• In empty space

Which of the following waves would be the loudest and why?

• Wave A is the strongest because it has the highest frequency

• Wave B is the strongest because it has the highest amplitude

• Wave C is the strongest because it has the shortest wavelength

• Wave D is the strongest because it has the lowest amplitude

Which of the following waves would have the highest pitch and why?

• Wave A has the highest pitch because it has the highest frequency

• Wave A has the highest pitch because it has the highest amplitude

• Wave B has the highest pitch because it has the highest frequency

• Wave B has the highest pitch because it has the highest amplitude

Which of the following best describes how high pitch and low pitch are different?

• A high pitch sound has a high frequency and a low pitch sound has a low frequency

• A person is close to a high pitch sound and far from a low pitch sound

• A high pitch sound is loud while a low pitch sound is quiet

• A high pitch sound has a high amplitude and a low pitch sound has a low amplitude

What would be true if the frequency of a wave increased?

• The amplitude of the wave would be lower

• The amplitude of the wave would be higher

• The wavelength of the wave would shorten

• The wavelength of the wave would lengthen
