    CLA Test Sound & Waves

    Uploaded by

    Rubab Bajwa
    This document contains two parts of a physics quiz on sound and waves. Part 1 focuses on definitions of key terms like amplitude, pitch, frequency, volume, and echo. Part 2 covers topics like the properties of sound waves, how sound travels in different mediums, and calculating speed and distance using time and speed of sound. Part 3 continues examining concepts like frequency, wavelength, and identifying transverse vs longitudinal waves. The quiz aims to test understanding of foundational concepts in the physics of sound and waves.
