What does the length of an instrument have to do with sound?

Longer = lower


The longer the vibrating string or the longer the vibrating column of air?

the lower the sound


If a sound wave has a lower frequency it has a longer wavelength?

Yes


How does tube length affect sound?

A longer tube causes the soundwave to have a longer wavelength, a lower frequency and hence have a lower pitch.


What is the difference from lower sound waves and higher sound waves?

Because the low note is short and the high note is hifh


Why does a trombone produce lower notes than a bugle?

the trombone is longer than the bugle, giving the sound a longer path to travel, thus making the sound waves more spread out, giving it a lower tone.


How do you change the pitch sound?

Adjust the wavelenght! The higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. Basically, the longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch.


Why is it that the lower the pitch of a sound the longer it will stay in the air?

Ask Ma Kettle!


How do you change the intensity of sound?

the intensity of a sound wave is a combination of its rate and density of energy transfer.To change the intensity of sound we have to make the amplitude higher or make it lower.


How does the length of a pipe affect pitch?

The sound produced by a pipe is due to standing waves that are formed in the body of the pipe. The fundamental frequency,f1, produced, is given by the formula : f1=v/2L , where v is the velocity of the wave and depends only on the physical characteristics of the mean (e.g. air density), and L is the length of the pipe. So if the length increases the frequency decreases.


How do density and temperature effect the speed of sound?

The sound travels faster through a dense medium. Colder temperatures are generally more dense, thus sound travels faster at a lower temperature.


What happends to a log if the density of water is decreased?

A log? As in a log that came from a tree, right? If the density of water was decreased enough, such that it is now lower than a log's density, then the log would no longer float, but sink.
