What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?
Generally the unit used for frequency is Hertz (cycles per second).
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?
Frequency and amplitude.
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 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
How do you measure the frequency of a sound wave?
Capture the sound with a microphone, feed its output into an oscilloscope with a calibrated timebase. Measure the time period T of the wave on the horizontal axis, then convert it into a frequency ( = 1/T)
Hertz Hz is the unit used to measure a wave's?
Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.
What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?
Generally the unit used for frequency is Hertz (cycles per second).
A frequency of one sound wave per second is called?
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
What does a decible measure?
I think the decible is a unit of measure ofpressure in a sound wave.
What is the most common unit of measure for a sound wave?
Hertz.
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.
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 a unit of measure for frequency consisting of a wave or cycle per second?
Hertz (Hz) is the SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
