vibration | a back-and-forth motion of matter |
sound wave | a vibration that carries energy and spreads away from a vibrating object |
compression | the part of a sound wave where molecules are pushed together |
rarefaction | the part of a sound wave where molecules are spread apart |
pitch | how high or low a sound is |
frequency | the number of times an object vibrates per second |
volume | the loudness or softness of a sound |
reflection | the bouncing of a sound wave off a surface |
absorption | the disappearance of a sound wave into a surface |
echo | a reflected sound wave |
echolocation | finding an object by using reflected sound |
Doppler effect | the change in frequency (and pitch) as a source of sound moves toward or away from you |
amplitude | the energy in a sound wave |
high pitch sound (high frequency) |  |
low pitch sound(low frequency) |  |
soft sound(less energy) |  |
loud sound (more energy) |  |
