🗑
The part of a sound wave in which molecules are pushed together   compression  
🗑
The part of a sound wave in which the molecules are spread out   rarefaction  
🗑
Sound waves are a type of wave known as   longitudinal waves  
🗑
A moving pattern of high and low pressure that you can hear   sound wave (onda acústica)  
🗑
The distance from one compression to the next in a sound wave   wavelength (longitud de onda)  
🗑
Loudness of a sound, height of a sound wave   amplitude (amplitud)  
🗑
A measure of how high or low a sound is, the steepness of a sound wave   pitch (echada)  
🗑

🗑
A code of long and short sounds (or lights) originally used with a telegraph, no longer in use   Morse Code  
🗑
