What else can I help you with?
How do you measure the wavelength of sound?
distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.
What is the lowest point on a Sound or light wave?
The lowest point on a sound wave is the trough, which represents the lowest amplitude or pressure point in the wave. In a light wave, the lowest point is the trough as well, representing the lowest intensity or energy level of the wave.
The low point of a sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The low point of a sound wave, where the lowest air pressure occurs, is known as the trough. It is the point of the wave where air particles are farthest apart, leading to decreased air pressure. Sound waves consist of both high and low pressure points as they travel through a medium like air.
How far can sound travel in space between astonauts?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.
How many mediums can a sound wave pass through?
Solid, Liquid and Gas... These are the three things a sound wave can get trough... A sound-wave can get trough solid easily, because of all the particles, after that trough Liquid and at least trough Gas...
What does light and sound transfer?
They both transfer energy from point A to point B without the movement of any medium between them.
The velocity of sound in vacuum is?
The velocity of sound in vacuum is 0 m/s because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, sound waves cannot propagate and therefore, there is no velocity of sound in vacuum.
What is a long and narrow shallow hollow between sound waves?
Sound waves are mechanical energy, and mechanical energy moves through matter in areas of compression and in areas of decompression (or, perhaps, rarefaction). The areas of compression are often spoken of as crests, and troughs speak to the areas of decompression in the medium through which the sound is propagating. The trough of a sound wave is the decompressed or rarefied medium.
What does cycle mean in reference to sound?
In reference to sound, a cycle typically refers to the complete wave pattern of a sound wave going from its highest point (peak) to its lowest point (trough) and back to its starting point. This complete cycle represents one full oscillation of the sound wave.
Why can electromagnetic wave travel trough space and not sound waves?
Sound waves are compression waves, not radiation waves. Compression waves require a medium in which to travel, air, rock, water, anything. Space is a vacuum, hence no medium to transfer the wave from one point to another. Electromagnetic radiation waves travel best without the interference of that medium, which can in cases block the transmission of those waves completely.
What what is wavelength?
There are different types of waves. They can belong to light, sound, or color. A wavelength is how far apart a crest or trough is from another crest or trough. In a wave, there are many different characteristics, which include its amplitude and frequency. the amplitude is the distance between a wave's mid-point and it's crest or trough. The frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a given time. so, this tells that a wave has more properties or characteristics than a wavelength.
What does the loudness of sound depends on?
the loudness of sound depends on the amplitude of the waves that compose it, i.e. the difference in pressure between the crest and the trough of the wave.
