Best Answer

the frequency of a wave changes the pitch of the of the sound, a lower frequency (less frequent vibrations of the speaker) means lower pitch (bass notes) a higher frequency increases the pitch (treble notes) the formula is: speed = frequency x wavelength note: if you double the frequency of a sound you half the wavelength (assuming the medium through which the sound travels is constant, thus the speed of the sound is constant) doubling the frequency also increases the pitch by one octave... the note "Middle C" is 440 Hz "C" one octave higher is 880 Hz and "C" one octave lower is 220 Hz all of the "C" notes in the musical scale are "C" below human hearing range 13.75 Hz Lowest "C" 27.5 Hz (Just within average human hearing range) "C" One Octave Higher 55 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 110 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 220 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 440 Hz also known as "Middle C" "C" One more Octave Higher 880 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 1760 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 3520 Hz "C" One more Octave Higher 14080 Hz (The Highest "C" Note the average human can hear) "C" One more Octave Higher 28160 Hz (outside of human hearing range but it really annoys dogs)

You would be using a radio if you were trying to tune into an AM or FM frequency.


If a bass guitar has a frequency of 400Hz what frequency would your eardrum vibrate at?

Any frequency/note played by said bass guitar


What is a super heterodyne receiver?

A superheterodyne receiver is a Radio Frequency receiver method that multiplies the received signal frequency with a local oscillator frequency to get frequencies that are the sum and difference of the 2 frequencies. For example, if the received signal is 5MHz and the local oscillator frequency is 4MHz, they are multiplied together. 1MHz and 9MHz frequencies would be gotten. Usually the 1MHz is the Intermediate Frequency (IF). It will be admitted (through a band pass filter) later passed through the required electronic circuits for proper processing. There is also the method of the Variable Tuned Filter.


The fundamental frequency of a string is 550 hz what is the first harmonic frequency of the string?

The first harmonic, is the fundamental frequency, or 550 Hz. The second harmonic would be twice that, or 1100 Hz. The third would be twice that, or 1650 Hz and so on...


Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.

How would the wavelength of a wave change if the speed of the wave increased but not the frequency?

The wavelength would increase by the same proportion.


Why do foghorns use low frequency sound?

I think it might be so it is heard over a longer range than if it were a high frequency, where it would die out.


When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?

If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps


What happens to the wavelength when the speed is increased and frequency stays the same?

The wavelength would increase in direct proportion to the speed.


What do understand by frequency modulation?

It means that there is a base wave, and that the frequency is changed to transmit a signal. For example, if you want to transmit a signal representing a 1000 Hz sound, the frequency of the base wave would be increased and decreased a thousand times in a second.


How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?

The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.

What will happen if crystal frequency of 8085 is increased from 5 to 20 MHz?

Since the 8085 has a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz, increasing the crystal frequency from 5 MHz to 20 MHz, a corresponding clock frequency change of 2.5 MHz to 10 MHz, the chip would malfunction.


Predict how the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?

I think by it going faster makes it increase..


How does the wavelength of waves travel with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increased?

The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.


What physical property of sound waves makes the difference between different types of sounds?

What does frequency mean in maths terms?

frequency is how often a number or other piece of data occurs. if the data was 1,1,1,3,4,4,5. then the frequency for one would be three. the frequency for three would be one the frequency for four would be two and the frequency for five would be one.
