No.
The length of a sound wave is it's frequency. Volume will increase the wave's AMPLITUDE.

Which increases if the amplitude of a sound wave increases?
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
If a sound seems to be getting louder which of the following is probably increasing intensity frequency wavelength or speed and sound?
The sound will get louder when the amplitude of the sound pressure increases. The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.
What light has the same causes as the pitch of sound?
Stars in the universe are all moving away from us, so their wavelength will be red shifted. When the source of a sound is moving away from us, the wavelength of the sound will increase, i.e. the frequency will lower. In both cases, this is known as Doppler shift.
What results in more energy in a wave?
If wavelength goes up, energy goes down. If frequency goes up, energy goes up.
Why do railway tracks sound louder in winter than in summer is it expansion or contraction?
Contraction is the reason that railway tracks sound louder in winter.
What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?
Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".
What differences will you hear in a sound if there is increase in the amplitude?
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
What do you need to do add to make a sound louder?
Increase the amplitude.
How do vibrations affect sound?
a vibrating body produces sound. ie only if an object vibrates will it produce sound. the faster the object vibrates, the louder the sound and vice-versa. the no of vibrations per seceon is called frequency. thus if an object has a higher frequency, then it produces a louder and shriller sound...
What does quiet sound look like?
It has a lover amplitude then louder sounds. (The wavelength doesn't change, but the hight of it shortens)
Is it true that striking a drum harder produces a louder sound?
That's the general idea, yes.
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
Which increases if the amplitude of a sound wave increases?
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound gets louder?
It was when the air hit the wave and it move to another direction
If the musician then presses down on the string and plucks it the sound produces has a shorter wavelength How does the pitch of the sound change?
like i know....
A low frequency sound is produced by a sound wave that?
An object vibrating relatively slowly produces sound waves that have low frequency and long wavelength.
If a sound seems to be getting louder which of the following is probably increasing intensity frequency wavelength or speed and sound?
The sound will get louder when the amplitude of the sound pressure increases. The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.
