What the hertz is used to measure this characteristic of a wave?
frequency
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
How do you measure the frequency of a sound wave?
Capture the sound with a microphone, feed its output into an oscilloscope with a calibrated timebase. Measure the time period T of the wave on the horizontal axis, then convert it into a frequency ( = 1/T)
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
How do you measure a longitudinal wave?
The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
What is the unit used to measure the period of a wave?
Seconds
How do you find the period of a wave without the frequency?
You will have to measure it.
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
is there a scale used to measure the intensity of heat wave
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
What the hertz is used to measure this characteristic of a wave?
frequency
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
Is the mathematical symbol used for the period of a wave?
T
What are some common properties of waves that scientists measure?
Amplitude period Rise Time (square wave) Fall Time (Square wave) Duty-Cycle (Square Wave)
How do you measure the frequency of a sound wave?
Capture the sound with a microphone, feed its output into an oscilloscope with a calibrated timebase. Measure the time period T of the wave on the horizontal axis, then convert it into a frequency ( = 1/T)
What is an example os a longditudinal wave?
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
What is the reciprical of the period of a sound wave?
The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.
