| 1. | A structure in humans that contains the vocal cords and vibrates to produce sounds. |
| 2. | The rapid back-and-forth movement of matter. |
| 5. | A machine that converts an electrical signal into a sound wave with an increase in loudness. |
| 6. | The form in which sound energy moves from one place to another. |
| 8. | The unit used to express loudness. |
| 9. | The peak of a sound wave where the greatest air pressure occurs. |
| 12. | The bending of waves as they pass through an opening or around the edge of an object. |
| 13. | The low point of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs. |
| 15. | The bouncing back or change in direction of a wave after it strikes a barrier or an object. This may also be called an echo. |
