  • Waves can be transverse (perpendicular) or longitudinal (parallel).
  • Sound waves are longitudinal.
  • Sound waves are longitudinal waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air or water.
  • The frequency of a wave refers to how many complete cycles occur per second.
  • The speed of sound is determined by the medium through which it travels, with faster speeds in solids than liquids and gases.
  • Frequency determines pitch, while amplitude determines loudness.
  • Pitch is determined by the number of vibrations per second, measured in hertz (Hz), while loudness is determined by the intensity of the sound, measured in decibels (dB).
