wave length is a word to do about sound.
for example if a sound is low and it
gets high and gets low again it called
a wavelength

How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
What does amplitude mean in sound terms?
In the terms of sound, amplitude is the height of half the wave on the oscilloscope which shows us the sound waves when a sound is emitted . It is simply how loud or quiet a sound is...
Does sound have a wavelength?
Yes it does
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
Does a deeper sound have a greater wavelength?
A sound that is lower in pitch has a larger wavelength. Some animals such as Elephants and Whales use that sound to communicate with each other. The larger wavelength lets them communicate with animals miles away.
What is pitch in terms of sound?
Either frequency or wavelength.
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
Measure of sound?
Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
What sound has a short wavelength?
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?
Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".
What does amplitude mean in sound terms?
In the terms of sound, amplitude is the height of half the wave on the oscilloscope which shows us the sound waves when a sound is emitted . It is simply how loud or quiet a sound is...
What does structure mean in musical terms?
layers of sound
Does sound have a wavelength?
Yes it does
Sound with a high wavelength also has what other property?
Sound with large wavelength has low frequency / low pitch.
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
