Ultrasonic sound.
First of all, a sound wave is not a light wave. The frequency is not the only difference - it is quite a different type of wave. A wound wave might somehow INDUCE the creation of light waves (I don't know, it is just a possibility), but the sound wave ITSELF will not become a light wave. Second, the frequencies of light are extremely high; I am not sure whether sound can made at such frequencies.
Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency. Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope. Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.
the diffrence of this is........................................, i dont know i havnt learned about this yet im only in 6th grade what do you expect ;) maby its somehing animals do i dont know!
I would like to know how sound waves propagate through different mediums and how their speed varies based on factors like temperature and density. Additionally, I'm curious about the relationship between frequency and pitch, and how sound waves can be manipulated for applications in music and technology. Understanding these aspects could deepen my knowledge of acoustics and its practical uses.
PLEASE HELP DRESDEN HIGH SCHOOL ANSWER THIS QUESTION THANKS A TON A DRESDEN MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT AND BTW DO NOT EVER COME TO DRESDEN HIGH SCHOOL.............................................................................................................Which of the following is true of sound wavesa.)sound waves are types of transverse waves.b.)sound waves cannot move around corners.c.)sound waves move in a straight line.d.)sund waves travel i all directions.we dont completely know the rite answer but it is one of them 4 up there please help us answer it thanks dresden high school..................................You neglected to include in your question what the choices to pick from are . . . could you repost your question and include the choices, please?
Sound waves are a longitudinal wave - a compression and rarefaction. These waves can vary in frequency, and by their complexity. Some sounds are pleasant and musical, whilst other waves are unpleasant or raucous. Sound waves also vary in amplitude. from the softest to the painfully loud.
Sound waves.
The wavelength will be short. Properties of waves can be confusing but they're actually very simplistic if pictured properly. Frequency is waves per second. Hence the unit being s^-1. With sound, it's like how many of the wave can hit your ear every second. More waves per second is called higher frequency. So how can we relate this to wavelength? Well the speed of sound is pretty much constant through any given material so we know the waves aren't speeding up, they're just packed closer together. The only way to do that is if each wave is shorter....kinda squashed together. So conversely, if you were told there was low frequency you can think okay... far fewer waves are hitting my ear every second. This means they're spaced out and so the wavelength must be nice and long. Try drawing it out if you still have problems.
wave frequencys tell us the number of waves there are on that diagram.
The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.
More important for what. If you use the analogy with sound, the frequency of light is the pitch of the sound (also the frequency of the sound waves), and the intensity is how loud it is. Both are equally important, but for different reasons. Sometimes you want a low frequency, sometimes you want a high frequency. Sometimes you want low intensity, others high intensity. Depends what you want it for.
By using an phenomenon called the Doppler Effect, which causes waves (e.g. radio, light, sound) that are reflected off a moving object (or emitted by a source on a moving object) to shift frequency proportionally to the speed of the object.if the object is moving towards the observer the waves shift to a higher frequencyif the object is moving away from the observer the waves shift to a lower frequencyThe speed detector (e.g. RADAR gun) uses a method called heterodyning to "beat" the original transmitted radio waves with the received radio waves that reflected back from the object to generate a "difference frequency" that will be proportional to the relative speed of the object to the observer. This "difference frequency" is then fed to a frequency counter circuit and the result is scaled to be displayed in the correct units of speed that the user needs. For objects that emit the waves themselves (e.g. stars, galaxies) it is necessary to find spectral lines of known elements or compounds and measure how much the frequency of these spectral lines have shifted from their known standard frequency. If sound waves emitted by a vehicle (e.g. train whistle) you must somehow know the frequency of the sound source on the vehicle when it isn't moving (this may or may not be possible).
