4. Sound waves travel faster through solids because there are more particles close together to transfer the energy. Sound waves and

15. Longitudinal Wave (Compression Wave) Each wave particle vibrates back and forth in the same direction of the wave.

17. Waves transfer energy without moving matter. Frequency= waves/time If you watch the 3 red dots you will see them vibrate, but not move with the wave to the end.

22. Ultrasound sound waves with frequencies above the normal human range of hearing. Sounds in the range from 20,000-100,000Hz Infrasound sounds waves with frequencies below the normal human range of hearing. Sounds in the 0.001 - 20Hz range
25. Amplitude is the maximum distance the particles in a wave vibrate from their rest positions.
