The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.


The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.
The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.
The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.
How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Answer 1

Sound properties are matched with their definitions: Pitch with frequency, Frequency with the number of wavelengths per second, Period with the time for a wavelength to pass, Loudness with amplitude, and Amplitude with the wave height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we'll match the sound wave property to its correct definition:

1. Pitch (D) - The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.
2. Frequency (B) - The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.
3. Period (C) - The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.
4. Loudness (E) - The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave. Note: The definition on the density of the medium is not defining loudness but rather an aspect of the wave's intensity and compression.
5. Amplitude (A) - The height of the crest above the null point, often linked to the volume or intensity.

Frequency of a sound wave is measured in hertz (Hz), which corresponds to the pitch, while the amplitude of a sound wave is related to its loudness or volume. A higher amplitude means a louder sound. Period is the time it takes for one full cycle of the wave, inversely related to frequency.

Answer 2

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.
