How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Does sound velocity change based upon sound frequency?
Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
What are the characteristic of sounds?
frequency,wavelength,amplitude,sound pressure,sound intensity,speed of sound,and direction
When calcualting the speed of sound do you multiply or divide the distance by the frequency?
When calculating the speed of sound do you multiply or divide the distance by the frequency? If you mean the formula for the speed of sound c then the wavelength lamda is multiplied by the frequency f. c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
If the speed of sound depended on frequency how would distant music sound?
it would press seven and then die :\

What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?
Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

What is the speed of sound vibrations?
Frequency
How are wavlength and frequency of sound related?
Their product is always the speed of the sound.
What are two factors that affect sound quality?
Speed of Sound and frequency
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its and speed together or its frequency alone?
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequency alone.
What is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 17.0 m?
Divide the speed of sound by the wavelength, to get the frequency. The period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The speed of sound in air is about 343 meters/second, but it depends on temperature. The speed of sound in other materials is quite different from the speed of sound in air.
Do sound waves have wavelenght?
Yes. The wavelength of a sound is(speed of sound in air)/(frequency of the sound) .
If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten what happens to the wave length?
it gets divided by 10; frequency = speed/wavelength; wavelength = speed/frequency
