3.8 mm = 0.0038 meter
(340 meters per second) / (0.0038 meter) = 89,474 per second = 89,474 Hz. (rounded)

What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?
If you change sound's frequency and hold the velocity constant, the sound's wavelength also changes. If you change sound's frequency and keep the wavelength constant, then velocity also changes.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its and speed together or its frequency alone?
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequency alone.
What is a subjective property of sound related to frequency?
Pitch is related to the frequency of Sound. So the subjective property is Pitch. Colour is related to the wavelength of Light. So the subjective property of Light is Colour.
What part of a sound is decided by the frequency of its vibrations?
The frequency of a sound determines its pitch. Most sounds are composed of many frequencies. The other major component of sound is its amplitude, or its loudness.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its alone?
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
How do you find the wavelength of a sound emitted by a tuning fork at 440 vibrations-second and the speed of sound is 332 m per s?
Wavelength = speed /frequency = 332/440 = 75.45 cm(rounded)
What is the sound frequency of a chicken?
Most living beings, such as chickens and humans, don't produce a single sound frequency; rather, the sound emitted is a mix of frequencies. That's why the sounds of each creature sound different.
What are the characteristic of sounds?
frequency,wavelength,amplitude,sound pressure,sound intensity,speed of sound,and direction
What physical property of sound waves makes the difference between different types of sounds?
That would be the wavelength/frequency
Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?
It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.
Does a higher frequency sound have a higher wavelength?
When you generate a high frequency sound, through earphones or a speaker,you hear it as a high pitched sound. Higher frequency ==> higher pitch.Higher-frequency sounds have shorter wavelengths, and sounds of all frequencieshave the same speed, as long as they're all moving through the same stuff.
What does the amplitude look like for a soft sound?
Amplitude is how loud it is. So a soft sound would have a small amplitude. Frequency is the pitch of the sound. High sounds have high frequency. Wavelength is the type of sound. Music wavelengths are in harmony. Changing the wavelength gives us the different words etc that we make.
What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?
If you change sound's frequency and hold the velocity constant, the sound's wavelength also changes. If you change sound's frequency and keep the wavelength constant, then velocity also changes.
What is the minimum wavelength of audible sound if speed sound in air is 330ms?
Use the formula: Velocity= Wavelength*Frequency 330=5*fequency frequency=330/5 frequency=66
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
