Which term describes the perceived frequency of a sound wave?

pitch


Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter its wavelength is.


What is planck constant?

Planck's constant describes the ratio between the energy of an electromagnetic wave and the frequency of that wave.


What describes the differences between two sounds having the same pitch?

If pitch means frequency, then they differ in wave length and if pitch means wave length, then they differ in frequency.


What is the term that describes the number of wave that move though a given point over?

Term that describes relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Wave velocity is the product of wavelength and frequency. ?In equation form:v = (lambda)(nu)


What are some ways to describe a wave?

H = cos (wt - kz) describes a wave travelling in the z-direction with angular frequency w and propagation constant k. The frequency is w / 2pi and the speed of the wave is w/k. That is a mathematical way to describe a wave.


If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.


What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?

speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength


Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?

frequency


What property of a wave describes its length?

Frequency can help to describe wavelength, since they are inversely proportional to one another.
