Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
The _______ of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time. Correct answer=frequency
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
WHAT of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
frequency
The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its?
The number of sound waves per unit time is called the frequency of the wave.
What is the most common unit of measure for a sound wave?
Hertz.
What is the smallest unit of sound wave energy?
The smallest unit of sound wave energy is the phonon. The phonon and the photon and the electron can in some ways all behave like a small particle.
What is the unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave?
Hertz or seconds-1
Is the amount of energy in a sound wave per unit of time and is also related to the loudness of a sound.?
Yes, it is.
What does a decible measure?
I think the decible is a unit of measure ofpressure in a sound wave.
What do you call the amount of energy in a sound wave?
Sound energy density or sound density is the sound energy per unit volume (according to Wikipedia).
The amount of energy a sound wave carries persecond through a unit area is its?
intensity
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
