Sound disturbance is propagated by compressions and rarefactions through the air medium. Air is a material medium. If such a material medium is absent then sound waves cannot be propagated. These compressions and rarefactions confirm that the wave is of longitudinal in nature.

When a source of sound moves toward a person what does pitch do?

As sound travels, the waves spread out and lose energy. Since the energy of a sound wave is proporitonal to it's total energy, losing energy causes the frequency to decrease. Pitch is human perception of frequenct, so the pitch drops as the waves propagate.

What is it called when waves bounce from a surface back toward the source?

When waves bounce from a surface back toward the source, it is called reflection. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter a boundary and return in the opposite direction.


What happens to sound waves when the source of a sound is moving toward you?

When the source of a sound is moving toward you, the sound waves emitted by the source are compressed, resulting in a higher frequency of the sound you hear. This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect and is commonly experienced with sirens from emergency vehicles approaching you.
