Waves
Disturbance of particles
Frequency
Number of waves per second (waves/seconds)
Fundamental frequency
First frequency that resonates in a pipe (lowest #)
Harmonic
Whole # multiple of fundamental frequency
Period
Number of seconds per wave (Seconds/waves)
Medium
Material a wave travels (Solid, liquid, gas)
Transverse waves
Perpendicular waves
Resonance
Natural frequency (vibration)
Mechanical wave
Requires medium (determines speed)
Longitudinal wave
Parallel waves
Amplitude
Volume (loudness) of a second spectrum
Inverse
Relationship between frequency and period
Audible waves
The range of frequencies humans can hear (20,000—> >20,000)
Temperature
Determines speed of sound in air
