Wavelength = (wave speed)/(frequency) .
The speed of sound is influenced by the density of the material it's traveling through.
If that's air, it depends on the temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude, suspended
particulate matter, etc. Whatever the speed of the sound happens to be, the
wavelength of a 250 Hz sound will be (speed, units per second)/(250) units.
A typical speed of sound in sea-level air is around 340 meters per second. At that
speed, the wavelength of the same sound is
340/250 = 136 centimeters

What is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelenght of 102 meters and a frequency of 250hz?
speed = wavelength * frequency wavelength = 102 meters frequency = 250 Hz = 250 cycles/second 102 * 250 = 25500 meters/second
What is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelenhgth of 1.2 meters and a frequency of 250 H2?
The speed of a wave is its wavelength (λ) x frequency (ƒ).v = 땃 = 1.2m x 250Hz = 300m/s
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 1.2?
we know the equation V=nLv=speed of wave n=frequency L=wavelength here v=? n=250Hz & L=1.2 v=250*1.2 =300m/s
If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten what happens to the wave length?
it gets divided by 10; frequency = speed/wavelength; wavelength = speed/frequency
What sound does a longitudinal wave make?
It depends on the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
The wavelength of a sound wave is 18 cm. The frequency of the wave is 1900 Hz. What is the speed of the sound wave?
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
