How long is a cycle in a sound wave?

A cycle in a sound wave is the time taken for one complete vibration.


What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?

The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.


What has to happen for a sound wave to happen?

For a sound wave to be created there has to be a vibration


Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?

A sound wave is created by a disturbance in a medium, such as air, causing molecules to vibrate. This vibration generates changes in pressure that propagate through the medium as a wave, which can be detected as sound. Without the initial vibration, there would be no disturbance to create a sound wave.


What is a sound wave made of?

A sound wave is simply a vibration in the air molecules, or the molecules of some other substance. This vibration propagates as a wave, the energy gets transferred somewhere else.


Define ampitude of a sound wave?

The Amplitude of a sound is it's loudness. It is possible to convert a sound wave into a transverse wave and see it on a CRO. (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) A quiet sound has a low aplitude and a loud sound therefore has a high amplitude.


How do satellites project sounds?

Sound is always created an projected by some sort of vibration. The satellite must have some sort of vibrating unit which is at the frequency of 20Hz - 20,000 Hz (the wave vibration we define as sound). However there is a problem, up in space there is limited particles in which the wave can travel through so unless the vibration is created so that the amplitude of the sound wave is extremely high (I'm talking astronomically large) we would never hear the sound Hope that helps - bwabwa

How sound occurs?

the lenght of the wave is depending on the vibration.


Example of a wave?

A wave is a back and fro motion of particles due to vibration or oscillation, example: The sound wave which is due to the vibration of the vocal cords.


How does vibration cause sound wave?

Vibration causes sound waves by creating disturbances in the air molecules around the vibrating object. These disturbances propagate as wave energy through the air, producing variations in air pressure that our ears detect as sound. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations determine the pitch and loudness of the resulting sound wave.


Why is a vibration of an object necessary for a sound wave to form?

Vibration is necessary because it creates a disturbance in the medium (such as air) which then propagates as a wave. This disturbance causes molecules in the medium to oscillate back and forth, transferring energy and producing a sound wave. Without the initial vibration, there would be no energy to propagate the wave and create sound.
