What is the period of a sound wave whose wave length is 20.0 m?

You solve this as follows:
1) Decide on a number for the speed of sound. Note that the speed of sound in air is quite different to the speed of sound in water, for example. Convert this speed to meters/second, if it isn't already in meters/second.
2) Divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.
3) The period is simply the reciprocal of the frequency.

What is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 2.0m?
17
What is the period of a 261 Hertz sound wave is?
The period of a 261 Hertz sound wave is 0.000383 Seconds
What is the intensity of a sound?
Based on the decibal system? On the length of the sound wave
What is the speed of the waves if the wave period is 4 seconds?
you have to know the wave length.
What is the length in feet of a wave whose frequency is 268 Hz?
In air, sound travels 343m/s, so a wave that happens 268 per sec(Hz), would be 343/268= 1.28m long.
What is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 2.0m?
17
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
What is the reciprical of the period of a sound wave?
The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.
What is the period of a 261 Hertz sound wave is?
The period of a 261 Hertz sound wave is 0.000383 Seconds
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
How do you find wave length?
the length of a wave generated by a complete vibration or time period
How do find wave length?
the length of a wave generated by a complete vibration or time period
The high the frequency of a sound wave means?
the shorter the wave-length
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.
Sound intensity corresponds to?
wave length
If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?
No. The length of a sound wave is it's frequency. Volume will increase the wave's AMPLITUDE.
What is the intensity of a sound?
Based on the decibal system? On the length of the sound wave
