What else can I help you with?
If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten what happens to the wave length?
If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten, the wavelength will decrease by a factor of ten. This is because the speed of sound in a given medium remains constant, so when frequency increases, wavelength decreases proportionally to maintain the speed of sound.
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave when it travels through water rather than air?
The wavelength of a sound wave decreases when it travels through water rather than air, as sound travels faster in water due to its higher density compared to air. This increase in speed causes the wave to compress more frequently, resulting in a shorter wavelength.
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.
What happens if you lower the frequency of a wave on a string?
Lowering the frequency of a wave on a string will result in a longer wavelength and a lower pitch sound.
If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?
No, the wavelength of a sound does not change when the intensity or loudness of the sound increases. The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the sound, which is determined by the source of the sound.
The multiple reflection of a single sound wave is a what?
The multiple reflection of a single sound wave is an echo.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
How do sound waves reflection occur and what factors influence the reflection of sound waves?
Sound wave reflection occurs when a sound wave hits a surface and bounces back. The factors that influence the reflection of sound waves include the angle of incidence, the nature of the surface, and the frequency of the sound wave.
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
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)
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Wavelength is halved.
