A sound wave with a frequency of 260 Hz has a wavelength of 1.30m what is the speed of the wave?
Speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength So c = 260 x 1.30 = 338 m/s +++ IN air at standard temperature & pressure. That is important because the speed varies with the density of the medium through which it travels. In sea-water the mean speed of sound is just under 1500m/s, varying slightly with salinity and temperature hence density.
Which part of a wave is affected by the temperature of the medium it passes through?
The speed is, and, as a direct consequence, the wavelength.
How do you label a wavelength?
you label a wavelength with amplitude, wavelength, through, and peak.
What is the value of velocity of sound?
The speed all depends on the characteristics of the substance through which the sound is propagating. In air at standard temperature and pressure, it's 343 meters per second. It's much faster than that in metal, water, and rock.
What two factors influence density?
Temperature and Pressure! As temperature increases, density will tend to decrease. Conversely, as pressure increases, density will increase. I say "tend to" because water will actually expand as temperature reduces through its freezing point! Cheers, Robin

How does temperature effect a volume air?
Temperature is not directly tied to volume, its related to pressure. Increasing the temperature will increase the pressure--only if volume is held constant. That is were volume and temperature are related, through pressure. However, if you increase the volume it does not change the temperature.

What kind of rock forms through high temperature and pressure?
crystals
When you descend through the earth what two things change?
Temperature and Pressure.
How do you change high temperature refrigerant and high pressure refrigerant in to low temperature refrigerant and low pressure refrigerant?
You cool it and run it through a metering devise.
What affects the speed of sound through air?
It is an amazing fact that the speed of sound in air is a function of temperature only. Even very large pressure changes produce only very small changes in the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air is determined by the air itself. It is not dependent upon the sound amplitude, frequency or wavelength. Scroll down to related links and look at "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure".
What does the S in STP stand for?
In chemistry it's standard temperature and pressure
