What do bats use to navigate in the dark?
Echo location via high frequency sound
Why cant you hear the exploding meteors in the sky?
Depends on how high they are. Sound neeeds something - like air - to travel through. If they're high enough there's no or not enough air for sound to travel, and you won't hear a thing. If they make if down far enough in one piece, you might hear them.
What is the color of the hottest star and why?
The hottest star is of blue color. The more the heat , the more is the excitement of electrons in star. This electrons vibrate with high frequency and emits light. Since the frequency is high, it appears as of blue color
Whenever you watch a high flying aircraft overhead it seems that its sound comes from behind the craft why is that?
The sound takes time to travel from up in the air down to the ground. So, if the plane is directly overhead, the sound takes a little time to reach you, so that by the time you hear it, the plane has moved a bit. The sound is loudest when the plane is directly overhead, which is how we tend to judge where the sound is "coming from," so it appears to be coming from behind the plane. This is called the Doppler Affect.
How long will it take to travel to space?
Who high the satellites
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.
A high frequency sound will be heard as a low or high sound?
high
Why will sound of low frequencies travel farther in air than sound of high frequencies?
The answer to this question has to do with the nature of waves. A high frequency sound has a greater wavelength than a low frequency sound. A high pitched noise wave looks a bit like NNNNNNNN, whereas a low sound looks a bit more like _____. Because the high pitched noise has a "taller" wave, so to speak, it is more easily interrupted, and cannot, therefore, travel as far as a low sound. sounds with higher frequency have more energy and the energy decreases along with distance and so is the frequency........so a sound with high frequency can travel farther due to its more amplitude,wavelength and intensity. The above is in error. A high frq. sound has a shorter (time is the abcissa(x) axis) wavelength than a lower freq. sound. Tallness or amplitude is not to be confused with wavelength. Amplitude is normally the ordinate or y axis and is a measure of magnitude. Energy content is a factor of both wavelength and amplitude. Lower frequency waves commonly travel better through matter as a result of the atomic spacing of the molecules in the medium( air, solid matter etc.). i.e. Think of dominoes falling.
Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?
No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
High frequency and a low amplitude represents what kind of sound?
the best describes a high frequency sound is high pitch!!..
Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?
high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
What is the pitch of the sound if it has a high frequency?
Really high
Is the frequency of thunder a low or high sound?
high
If a sound had a high amplitude and high frequency what would it sound like?
The sound would be like thunder, since thunder also has high amplitudes and frequency also. Usually at the begining of thunder you will listen cracking (krat..kat..krat .........) sound which is high frequency and high pitch. At the time when thundering is almost stop you will listen the heavy /bass sound which is very high amplitude and low frequency (goom.goom....goom...........) sound.
High frequency sound waves are know as?
Ultrasonic sound.
Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
The pitch of sound depends on the sound's frequency. Frequency is basically the amount of waves the sound is producing. If there are many waves, "happen frequently", it is a high frequency. This is a high pitch. If the distance between the waves is large, it is a low frequency and a low pitch.
