Sounds good glossary quiz

Vibrations that occur in the same direction as the wave is moving are called?

• longitudinal

• rarefactions

• transverse

• compressions

A region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are apart from each other.

• echoes

• rarefaction

• compressions

• transverse

A region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together

• frequency

• rarefaction

• compressions

• transverse

Vibrations occur at the right angle to the wave direction. Can be used to show pitch and volume easier.

• transverse

• longitudinal

• rarefactions

• compressions

High points of a transverse wave

• trough

• wavelength

• frequency

• crests

Low points of a transverse wave

• trough

• crest

• wavelength

• amplitude

The distance between crests and toughs of transverse waves

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• pitch

How high a wave is. It measures how much energy the wave has and how loud the sound will be.

• frequency

• trough

• wavelength

• amplitude

How often something vibrates per second

• frequency

• pitch

• hertz

• amplitude

How high or low a sound is

• amplitude

• frequency

• pitch

• hertz
