    a. transverse
    b. longitudinal
    c. crest-and-trough
    d. electromagnetic
    _____ 2. A sound wave consists of a series of
    a. compressions and rarefactions.
    b. longitudes and latitudes.
    c. hills and valleys.
    d. perpendicular vibrations
    _____ 3. The human perception of pitch depends on a sound’s
    a. velocity.
    b. wavelength.
    c. frequency.
    d. amplitude.
    _____ 4. Sound generally travels faster through solids than through gases
    because the particles (atoms or molecules) of a solid are
    _______________ than the particles of a gas.
    a. closer together
    b. heavier
    c. warmer

    Sound continued

    _____ 7. When you hear the sound from a vehicle that is moving toward you, the
    pitch is higher than it would be if the vehicle were stationary. The pitch
    sounds higher because the
    a. sound waves arrive more frequently.
    b. sound from the approaching vehicle travels faster.
    c. wavelength of the sound waves becomes greater.
    d. amplitude of the sound waves increases.
    _____ 8. Suppose you are on a moving bus as it passes a stationary car in which
    a stereo is playing music. As the bus goes past the car, you will hear the
    pitch of the music
    a. become higher.
    b. become lower.
    c. remain constant.
    d. become lower, then higher.
    9. Describe how a sound wave is created by an object vibrating in air. Use the
    words compression and rarefaction correctly in your explanation.

    10. The diagrams above represent sound waves created by two different vibrating
    objects. Assuming that both waves are traveling through the same medium,
    which wave is produced by the object vibrating at the higher frequency?
