What are two ways sounds can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
What are two ways that sound can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
How do sounds differ from one and and another?
it differs by the vibrations
What are the two elements of sounds?
Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender
How are frequency and amplitude related?
They're not. The same amplitude can have high or low frequency, and the same frequency can have large or small amplitude.
What occurs when waves and combine?
If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.
What are the two different parts of a longitudinal wave?
Frequency (or equivalently, wavelength) and amplitude. Frequency determines the sound's pitch (high or low). Amplitude is the volume (loud or quiet).
Two sound waves of equal amplitude with slightly different frequencies will result in?
A beat frequency.
Do two sound waves that seem equally loud always have the same amplitude?
Not if they are at a different frequency, because hearing is frequency dependent.
What are the two properties of sound waves that you use to classify different sounds?
The two properties are :- Pitch & Amplitude
Can the ear distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude?
No, the ear cannot distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude.
How is frequency of a wave different from the amplitude of a wave?
Frequency and amplitude are two entirely different measurements. In a sense, its like asking how height and weight are different. Amplitude of a wave is how strong it is. This means it has very high spots, and very low spots, with a large distance in between them. Frequency is how often this wave repeats. This can be seen by how close the repeating parts of the wave are together, and how sharp of ups and downs it has, because it has to reach those quicker.
