A sound wave leaves the loudspeaker. As it travels, it experiences a temporary increase in wavelength and then returns to its or
iginal wavelength. Which of the following scenarios could explain this change in wavelength? Select ALL that apply. A
The sound wave traveled into the rocky ground.
B
The sound wave traveled through a glass of water.
C
The sound wave reflected off of a rock wall nearby.
D
The sound wave traveled through a person walking along the shore.
E
The sound wave traveled through a helium balloon (helium is less dense than air).

The pattern of disruption brought on by energy moving away from the sound source is known as a sound wave. Longitudinal waves are what makeup sound. This indicates that the direction of energy wave propagation and particle vibrational propagation are parallel. The atoms oscillate when they are put into vibration.
A high-pressure and a low-pressure zone are created in the medium as a result of this constant back and forth action. Compressions and rarefactions, respectively, are terms used to describe these high- and low-pressure zones. The sound waves go from one medium to another as a result of these regions being transmitted to the surrounding media.
