How does the length of a pipe compare with the frequency and wavelength of the sound it can make?
The longer the pipe, the longer the wavelength, and the lower the frequency. The pipe organ is the world's best workshop for fully understanding those concepts.
As the frequency of sound waves increases the wavelength of the sound dereases.?
That's a correct statement. Although you didn't ask a question, I'll go on and add to it: The frequency and wavelength of any wave phenomenon, not only sound, change in exact inverse proportion, so that their product is constant. That product is the speed of the wave.
When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?
frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases
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.
Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?
It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.
How does tube length affect sound?
A longer tube causes the soundwave to have a longer wavelength, a lower frequency and hence have a lower pitch.
Does the notes actually go lower in pitch when it is slowed down?
Yes - as the sound is slowed, the wavelength is stretched. As the pitch is dependent on the frequency of the wavelength, longer wavelength = lower note

The lower the frequency of a sound wave the?
For electromagnetic waves:Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)ORwavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.

If one tuning fork vibrates at 340 Hz and a second one vibrates at 640 Hz which fork sends out a longer wavelength?
Lower frequency equates to a longer wavelength, so the 340 Hz tuning fork would emit a longer wavelength sound.
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths

The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
A low energy electromagnetic wave would also have?
the lowest frequency Lester was here
