The wave length is the distance between the peak of one sound pressure or electrical wave and the peak of the next. It's also known as one cycle (1 Hertz).

Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
What wave is similar to an ocean's wave?
A sound wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
The high the frequency of a sound wave means?
the shorter the wave-length
Sound intensity corresponds to?
wave length
If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?
No. The length of a sound wave is it's frequency. Volume will increase the wave's AMPLITUDE.
What is the intensity of a sound?
Based on the decibal system? On the length of the sound wave
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.
Explain the importance of how a wave length is created?
Wave length's are one of the most fundamental subjects in physics effecting sound, light and water for example. Learning how the wave length was created allows one to learn much about sound and light.
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave when it travels through water rather than air?
the wave length of sound increases
What are characteristics of sound energy?
The main characteristics of sound are frequency, amplitude and wave length
What are the three features of a sound wave?
1) Sound wave always require material medium for their propogation. 2)Sound wave are type of transvers wave. 3)Speed of sound wave can be calculated by speed=sqrt(tension*length of wire/massof wire)
How are amplitude and sound related?
amplitude and sound are related because sound comes in soundwaves, amplitude is the height of the wave while wavelength (spelling?) is the length of the wave
Is wavelength of sound greater than light?
no,wave length of sound is equal to wavelength of sound as when thunder appears,light appears first than sound because of more speed than sound but we can't considere that wave length of sound is greater than that of light
