wavelength,  | distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next |
frequency,  | number of times a wave passes a certain point in a second, it affects pitch |
amplitude,  | distance the particles of the wave travel from rest position to the crest or trough. affects the volume |
| wavespeed formula | wavespeed = wavelength x frequency |
medium,  | the stuff that a wave travels through |
rarefaction,  | areas where wave is closer together |
| compression, | area where wave is close together |
resonance,  | what happens when 2 objects vibrate at the same frequency, sounds louder |
echo,  | a reflected sound wave |
sonar,  | device that uses sound waves to locate objects underwater |
