They vibrate over a wide range of rates. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch of the sound.

What do light waves of greater frequency have?
The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.
T Waves are sound produced by underwater volcanoes. What is the wavelength of a T Wave with a frequency of 7 Hz and the speed of a sound in water is 1530 meter per second?
Wavelength= 218.8
Beats are a direct result of what?
Beats are the direct result of the interference that is caused by the difference in frequencies of two sound waves.
What is the period of a soundwave?
There is no set length on any sound wave. Sound waves vary hugely in thelength that they can be.The length of any sound wave is (the speed of sound in the current medium)/(the frequency of the sound) In air at sea level, the wavelengths in the audible range of frequencies rangefrom 1.72 centimeters (at 20 KHz) to 17.2 meters (at 20 Hz) ... a ratio of 1,000.
Light waves are classified as what waves?
Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
Sound waves have two parts?
Sound waves have wavelengths and frequencies.
What is an ultrasonic wave?
Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies higher than what humans can hear. Sound waves have frequencies of about 20,000 to 100,000.
Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?
No. The frequencies determine the sound.
What are electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies and the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays
What are sonic sound waves?
they are sound waves with frequencies ranging from 20 to 20,000 Hz
If a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency which has the longer wavelength?
Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, but it is directly proportional to the velocity of propagation. Since sound propagates through air much more slowly than EM waves propagate through the atmosphere or the vacuum of space, the wavelengths of sound waves are much smaller for identical frequencies.
If Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies they must also have different?
they have different wavelengths the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. the speed is the same
Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies and also have what?
Assuming velocity is a constant and v=f x wavelength. They would have different wavelengths.
How long is wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between 2 successive waves (sound waves, ocean waves, or any other wave.)
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
What is ossilloscope?
Basically, is a device which measures the amplitude and frequencies of a sound wave. It is shown on a screen. Closer waves, higher frequencies. Longer waves, lower frequencies.
