How do the velocities of a sound wave and electromagnetic wave compare to each other?
In air at sea level, the speed of electromagnetic waves isroughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.
What is the speed of the wave called?
There is no special name for the speed of sound at sea level, because the sea level and every other air pressure high up in the mountain has nothing to do with the speed of sound. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".There is no special name for it.By the way, the speed of sound has nothing to do with the sea level.The speed of sound has much to do with the temperature.At 20° Celsius the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.
How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
What are the three features of a sound wave?
1) Sound wave always require material medium for their propogation. 2)Sound wave are type of transvers wave. 3)Speed of sound wave can be calculated by speed=sqrt(tension*length of wire/massof wire)
What factors does the speed of sound not depend on?
The speed of sound does not depend on the amplitude of the sound wave or the frequency of the wave. It is primarily determined by the medium through which it travels, such as air, water, or solids. Additionally, the speed of sound is not influenced by the direction in which the sound is traveling.
What speed do waves move at?
it deepens if it is a wave in the ocean or a sound wave
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when it passes through media with different densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. This change in speed leads to the bending of the sound wave at the interface between the two media.
A sound wave produced by a lightning bolt has a frequency of 36 Hz and a wavelength of 12.0 m what is the speed of the sound wave?
Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (36) x (12) = 432 meters per second.Isn't this a pretty high speed for sound in air . . . ? ? ?
How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?
Changing the amplitude of a wave does not impact the wave speed. Wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. The amplitude only affects the energy of the wave, not its speed.
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
What makes sound speed?
Sound is propagated as a mechanical wave. As with all waves it travels and so has a speed.
