Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.

Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?

no


If four sound waves reached a source at the same time what do the waves wave do not have in common 1 amplitude 2 frequency 3speed 4 wavelenght?

First of all, sound waves propagate away from the source, not toward it.Next, if four sound waves reached the same point at the same time, there's no reasonwhy they couldn't all have the same amplitude, frequency, speed, and wavelength.Next question ?


What are sound waves that are musical differ in what from other sound waves?

Musical sound waves have distinct frequencies and harmonics that create recognizable pitches, whereas other sound waves may lack these specific patterns. Additionally, musical sound waves are often pleasant to listen to and evoke emotional responses, whereas other sound waves may not have the same effect.


Do all sound waves carry the same amount of energy?

No, sound waves can carry different amounts of energy depending on factors such as amplitude and frequency. Higher amplitude and frequency sound waves typically have more energy than lower amplitude and frequency sound waves.


What can sound waves get transferred through materials?

All sound waves can do that.


What kind of waves are all sound waves?

transverse


What characteristics do all sound waves have?

Sound waves are LONGITUDINAL. This means the direction of the particles is the same as the direction of the wave. Sound waves are a series of compressions (areas of high density) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure). All sound waves are caused by vibrations. They only travel if there is a medium for them to travel along, therefore there is no sound in space, or in a vacuum as it cannot travel.


What is the same about all waves?

All waves involve the transfer of energy from one place to another without the transfer of matter. They are characterized by properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Waves can be found in various forms, including light waves, sound waves, and water waves.


How are sound waves and water waves?

Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).


Can Doppler's Effect only be observed in sound waves?

No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What do light waves sound waves and radio waves all have in common?

Light waves, sound waves, and radio waves are all forms of energy that propagate through a medium (such as air or space) in the form of waves. They all have different wavelengths and frequencies, which determine their properties and how they interact with the environment.
