Distance
The amount of space between two points, often calculated in experiments involving sound.
Frequency
The number of waves that pass a point in a given period of time, influencing the pitch of sound.
Wavelength
The distance between consecutive crests of a wave, which affects the pitch perceived in sound.
Pitch
The perceived frequency of a sound; high pitches correspond to high frequencies, and low pitches correspond to low frequencies.
Average
A statistical measure, often used to improve accuracy in experiments by taking multiple measurements.
Time Delay
The difference in timing between two events, such as when a sound is made and when it is heard.
Acoustic Experiment
An experiment designed to test the properties and behaviors of sound waves.
