If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten what happens to the wave length?
it gets divided by 10; frequency = speed/wavelength; wavelength = speed/frequency
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
the speed and wavelength increase but the frequency stays the same
Sound from source A has a frequency twice as great as the frequency of sound from source B compare the wavelengths of sound from two sources?
The formula goes: c = lambda times f where c is the speed in the medium (air) in meters per second lambdathe wavelength in meters and f the frequency in Hz. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength will be halved.
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.
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

If a sound wave speeds up and its frequency does not change what happens to the wavelength?
With the same speed -Apex (1.2.4)

If the wave frequency is doubled what will happened to the speed?
Nothing, as the speed of sound doesn't change (about 340 metres per second in air). If the frequency (or pitch) were to be twice as high it would simply halve the wavelength.
What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?
If you change sound's frequency and hold the velocity constant, the sound's wavelength also changes. If you change sound's frequency and keep the wavelength constant, then velocity also changes.
What happens to the speed of the waves if the frequency of the wave source is halved?
The wavelength of a wave would double if the frequency was cut in half. Wavelength=c/frequency where c equals the speed of light.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
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.
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
