3

The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

volume

amplitude

frequency

period


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.


4

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

79% Answer Correctly

electron

61% Answer Correctly

deoxygenates
