The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy
A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave
When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called nodes
In a fixed medium what can contribute to a higher pitched sound
Higher wave speed and shorter wavelength can each contribute to
a sound of higher pitch.
On the decibel scale an increase of decibels means an intensity increase ten times
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is
The pitch of a sound is determined by its and speed together or its frequency alone
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequency
alone.
For a stationary observer when the source of a sound is moving its pitch appears to change
The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the waves
The primary colors of visible light are red blue and what
What All of the visible color light waves together result in light
