Best Answer

Wavelength of sound is measured using the following formula: 1126.8/F - where 1126.8 is the speed of sound (at standard temperature and pressure measured in feet per second) and F is the frequency (in Hz).

Therefore, 1126.8/20=56.34 ft

How long is a 100 hz wave?

A 100 Hz electromagnetic wave has length of about 1,862.82 miles.


If a wave has frequency of 20 Hz what is the period of the wave?

How do you convert to hz?

you take the wave length in meteres, and divide it by the time of travel in seconds. m/s=hz


What is the velocity of a wave that has frequency of 22 hz and a wave length of 4m?

What sound does a sinus wave make?

A sinus wave simply means that the instantaneous value is equal to the sine of the phase. Sound is determined more by the frequency of the wave. Frequency is the amount of time it takes for a wave to return to any given value repeatedly and is measured in Hertz (abbreviated Hz). A 1,000 Hz tone will sound much different than a 10,000 Hz tone. Changing the wave from sinusoidal to a trapezoidal or square wave will have an effect on sound but this is normally heard as the frequency of the wave with distortion.


What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 10 m and a frequency of 34 hz?

What wave can be detected by the ear?

sound waves, between about 20 Hz to 20000 Hz (for most people).


How fast is a wave moving if its wave length is 10 meters and its frequency is 110 Hz?

The formula for a wave in this case is: speed = frequency x wavelength. Since Hz = 1/second, the answer will be in meter/second.


Which type of sound wave can not be detected by humans?

Humans can hear with in a range of 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is infrasound, and above 20,000 Hz (20 kHz) is ultrasound.


A wave has a wavelength of 1.2 m and a frequency of 3 Hz What is the wave speed?

apex - 3.6 . to find the wave speed you multiply the frequency and the wave length .


What type of sound wave can not be heard by humans?

Any sound wave below roughly 20 Hz or above roughly 20,000 Hz can't be heard by humans.
