Does refractionand reflection effect the wavelength of sound?

No, refraction and reflection do not affect the wavelength of sound. Wavelength is determined by the frequency of sound waves in a given medium, and it remains constant as sound waves interact through these processes. Refraction and reflection can alter the direction and intensity of sound waves, but not their wavelength.


When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?

The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.


Is wavelength of sound greater than light?

no,wave length of sound is equal to wavelength of sound as when thunder appears,light appears first than sound because of more speed than sound but we can't considere that wave length of sound is greater than that of light


What are some examples of wavelength questions that can be used to investigate the properties of light?

Some examples of wavelength questions to investigate the properties of light include: How does the wavelength of light affect its color perception? What is the relationship between the wavelength of light and its energy? How does the wavelength of light impact its ability to be refracted or diffracted? How does the wavelength of light influence its interaction with different materials, such as glass or water?


How will decreasing the wavelength of light affect the fringe spacing in an interference pattern?

Decreasing the wavelength of light will decrease the fringe spacing in an interference pattern. This is because fringe spacing is directly proportional to the wavelength of light used in the interference pattern.

How wavelength frequency and amplitude affect the charasterics?

The wavelength and frequency affect how the way is perceived. In sound it would affect the pitch that you hear, in the visible light spectrum it would affect what color you see. The amplitude would be how easy it is to perceive, it is the intensity (magnitude) of the wave.


What does the electron have that gives it a wavelength and interference effects like light and sound?

Electrons, like light and sound, exhibit wave-particle duality. They have a property called quantum mechanical wavelength, defined by de Broglie's equation, that links their momentum with their wavelength. This wavelength is responsible for interference effects when electrons interact with each other or with other particles.


Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?

sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.


What is determined by wavelength in sound?

The wavelength in sound determines the pitch of the sound. A shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher pitch, while a longer wavelength corresponds to a lower pitch.


What are two main categories for waves?

wavelength, amplitude or maybe you meant sound and light (waves?)
