Q
for a sound wave (longitudinal) what is amplitude
A
VOLUME (loudness)
If you increase the amplitude, you increase the volume of the sound.
3
Q
for a sound wave (longitudinal) what is frequency
A
PITCH
If you increase the frequency, you increase the pitch of the sound - it gets higher!
4
Q
for a sound wave (longitudinal) what is wavelength
A
WAVELENGTH is linked to frequency. If the frequency goes up, the wavelength gets shorter. So, high notes have a short wavelength.
