What determines wave speed?
Wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave travels and the properties of that medium, such as density and elasticity. In general, waves travel faster through stiffer and denser mediums. The wavelength and frequency of the wave also play a role in determining its speed.
When a wave is passing through a uniform medium and the frequency of this wave increases it wavelength does what?
When the frequency of a wave passing through a uniform medium increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant in the medium, so an increase in frequency results in shorter wavelengths to maintain the same wave speed.
What sound wave is the pitch related to?
In a way, yes, as the pitch of a sound wave is determined by it's frequency f, and a waves period T is the reciprocal of f. i.e. T=1/f
Which theory best explains how you perceive low pitched sounds?
The frequency theory suggests that the perception of low-pitched sounds is based on the rate at which the auditory nerve fires signals to the brain, corresponding to the frequency of the sound wave. This theory proposes that the pitch of a sound is encoded in the frequency of nerve impulses traveling along the auditory nerve.
A frequency of one sound wave per second is called?
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
How can you change the frequency of a wave?
The frequency of a wave can be changed by altering the speed of the wave's source or by changing the medium through which the wave is traveling.
What is the energy of a wave that has a frequency of 2400 Hz?
The energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. The energy of a wave with a frequency of 2400 Hz depends on factors such as the amplitude, medium through which the wave is traveling, and wave equation.
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
What is the relationship between the two velocities in a traveling wave?
In a traveling wave, the relationship between the two velocities is that the wave velocity is equal to the product of the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happened to the wavelength?
If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is halved. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, as determined by the medium it is traveling through. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely related according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
What is the frequency of a wave traveling at a speed of 100 cms with a wavelength of 10 cm?
The frequency of the wave is equal to the speed of the wave divided by the wavelength. In this case, the frequency would be 10 Hz.
How are the frequency and the wavelength of a wave traveling at a constant speed related?
frequency = speed of wave / wavelength so if speed is constant then frequency varies inversely with wavelength
What determines wave length?
The wavelength of a wave is determined by the frequency of the wave and the speed at which it is traveling. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase. It is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.
What happens to the speed when the frequency is high?
When frequency is high, the speed typically remains constant. This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling, not by the frequency of the wave.
If the frequency of a wave traveling in a rope is doubled what will happen to the speed of the wave?
Assuming that the wavelength remains constant, the velocity of the rope will also double if the frequency is doubled. This can be seen in the word equation below: speed = frequency x wavelength If we assume that wavelength is a constant...let wavelength = 1 speed = frequency therefore... 2 x frequency = 2 x speed
What has the author Rudolf Kompfner written?
Rudolf Kompfner has written: 'The invention of the traveling-wave tube' -- subject(s): Traveling-wave tubes
What happens to the speed of a wave if the amplitude is doubled and the frequency holds constant?
If the amplitude of a wave is doubled while the frequency remains constant, the speed of the wave will not change. The speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling, not by its amplitude or frequency.
