f, frequency: 680Hz (Hertz, cycles per second);
c, speed of sound in air : 343 m/s;
find λ, wavelength.
using c = λ * f; therefore: λ = c / f
λ = c / f = 343 / 680 = 0.5m

What is the speed of ultrasonic waves in vacuum is equal to what is the speed of audible sound in air?
No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.
What is wavelength of 512 hertz sound wave that travels 100 meters through air at STP?
The wavelength is about 67 centimeters, regardless of how far it travels.
What happens to the speed of a light wave when it travels from air to liquid?
it slows down Any time a wave enters a new median it is called refraction, the speed, direction, wavelength, and angle of the wave all change. This is why when you put your foot or a stick or something in water, it appears as if is bending. Also, refraction is represented by Snell's law which is n1/n2=sinx2/sinx1=v1v2 (x is usually expresses as theta).
Is the air pressure greater during wavelength or amplitude?
probably wavelength
Speed of a wave?
The speed of light, in wave or particle form, travels at approximately 300,000,000 meters per second in a vacuum. Although this speed remains constant, the frequency and wavelength are subject to change. These difference account for various colors of visible light.
What happens to wavelength as a wave leaves the air and enters the perspex?
The wavelength bends forward as it leaves the air and enters the Perspex. The frequency of the wavelength will also increase.
What is the relationship between wavelength frequency and velocity of sound in air?
For any wave phenomenon, the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the wave speed.
When a sound wave passes from air into water do you expect the frequency wavelength to change?
The speed of the wave increases, the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases. The angle of the wave also changes.
What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 1.0x10-2Hz?
1.0 x 10-2 = 0.01 If the wave is a sound wave in air, then its wavelength is (343/0.01) = 34,300 meters. (about 21.3 miles) If the wave is an electromagnetic wave in space then its wavelength is (299,792,458/0.01) = 29,979,245,800 meters. (about 18,628,200 miles)
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
the speed and wavelength increase but the frequency stays the same
What happens to the wavelength of a wave as it leaves the air and enters Perspex?
it stays the same
What is the speed of ultrasonic waves in vacuum is equal to what is the speed of audible sound in air?
No, ultrasonic wave do not travel at all in a vacuum.
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave when it travels through water rather than air?
the wave length of sound increases
What are the disadvantage of ultrasonic wave communicaton?
Communication is at speed of sound. Signal attenuation. Noise of signal travelling through air.
What is the wavelength of a 440 Hz wave in air?
For 440 Hz: λ = about 423.37 miles.
What is wavelength of 512 hertz sound wave that travels 100 meters through air at STP?
The wavelength is about 67 centimeters, regardless of how far it travels.
What changes occur in term of wavelength and frequency when ultrasonic waves move from air to carbon dioxide?
You can expect the speed of the wave to change when it goes from one substance to another. The speed can increase or decrease, depending on the specific substance. Sorry, I don't know how the speed of sound in carbon dioxide compares with air - in any case, it would also depend on the temperature and pressure. The wavelength will correspondingly go up and down - that is, if the speed goes up, the wavelength will also go up. The frequency won't change.
