Lambda( Wavelength) = velocity/frequency
Frequency = 18 x 10^3 Hz
Velocity = Speed of sound = 340m/s
wavelength = 340/18x10^3 = 17/900 m

A high frequency sound will be heard as?
If the high frequency sound is within hearing range, you can hear it as a high-pitched sound. If it's out of the hearing range you can't hear it, of course.
The speed of sound in water is 1430 ms Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Formula is velocity=frequency X wavelength so Wavelength = 5m
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
Find the frequency of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.5 meter. Could you hear this sound?
Frequency= 226.67 Yes, we can hear this sound.
What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?
Wavelength.
A high frequency sound will be heard as?
If the high frequency sound is within hearing range, you can hear it as a high-pitched sound. If it's out of the hearing range you can't hear it, of course.
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.
What is the difference between infra sound and ultrasound?
Infrasound has a frequency below normal hearing. Ultrasound waves have a frequency above the normal range of human hearing.
What are hearing ranges measured in?
There are two parameters regarding hearing ranges. One is frequency range, and the range of hearing is measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second. Another variable is the threshold of hearing. In other words, how loud does a sound at a given frequency have to be to be heard. That sound level is measured in decibels with respect to a reference level. The threshold level will vary with the pitch (frequency) of the sound, as you might have guessed.
Relationship between period and amplitude of a wave?
The amplitude of a sound is not related to its frequency (wavelength).There might appear to be a connection if the listener's hearing is more or less sensitive to certain frequencies. For example, as a sound with constant amplitude rises in frequency toward the upper limit of the listener's hearing range, it will be perceived as if its amplitude (loudness) is dropping, although that sensation is in the ear of the beholder and not a property of the sound itself.
Which type of noise has sound at every frequency within the range of human hearing?
White noise
Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?
It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.
How is frequency of sound waves related to its time period?
No. The amplitude of a sound is not related to its frequency (wavelength).There might appear to be a connection if the listener's hearing is more or less sensitive to certain frequencies. For example, as a sound with constant amplitude rises in frequency toward the upper limit of the listener's hearing range, it will be perceived as if its amplitude (loudness) is dropping, although that sensation is in the ear of the beholder and not a property of the sound itself.
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
What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?
If you change sound's frequency and hold the velocity constant, the sound's wavelength also changes. If you change sound's frequency and keep the wavelength constant, then velocity also changes.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
