The document discusses key properties and concepts related to sound, including: 1. A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations that travels through a substance. The medium is the substance that allows the wave to travel. 2. Pitch is a measure of how high or low a sound is perceived and depends on the frequency of the sound wave. Frequency is the number of waves that pass per second and is measured in Hertz. 3. The range of hearing for different animals is provided, with humans able to hear between 20-20,000 Hz. Ultrasonic sounds have a frequency too high for humans to hear.
