83% Answer Correctly

frequency

amplitude

period

volume


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

81% Answer Correctly

solid

plasma

liquid

gas


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

67% Answer Correctly

more

equal numbers of

fewer

double the number of
