The length of 4 waves together is 12m. How long is the wavelength of a single wave?

• 3 seconds

• 3 metres

• 12 metres

• 3 Hz

Particles in a longitudinal wave travel

• perpendicular to the direction of travel

• parallel to the direction of travel

• perpendicular to the direction of peaks

• parallel to the direction of the amplitude

A higher frequency results in

• higher volume

• lower pitch

• lower volume

• higher pitch
