Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
What factor determines the classification of a thunderstorm stage?
the wind speed of the storm
How does the speed of water effects erosion?
The speed of water affects erosion because the speed of erosion depends on the force of the moving water. It determines the rate of erosion.
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
What determines the the speed of a wave?
medium
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
What happens to the frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decrased and why?
The freequency of a wave is increased when the wavelength is decreased. This is because the product of the frequency and the wavelength are a constant that determines the speed of the wave c=fw.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines the frequency of electromagnetic waves?
An EM wave is caused by an energy source, such as something as big as a supernova or something as small as an electron changing in speed. I would say the change in the energy level of the energetic particle that causes the wave determines the frequency of the wave. +++ Whilst you may be right about the quantum physics, the frequency of the wave is that of the energy source, be it in a star or a radio transmitter, driving it.
What properties of light wave determines its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
Is it the speed or the size of the vibration that changes the pitch of a sound?
Neither. Speed of sound waves doesn't change unless there is a change in the medium (substance through which the wave moves). the size of the vibration determines how loud the sound is. the length of the vibration is what determines the pitch.
What determines the energy of an electromagnetic wave?
Frequency determines the scalar energy of electromagnetic wave, E= hf=hc/r.
What determines a wavelength of a wave?
The frequency
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
What wave property determines loudness and pitch?
The wave's frequency and its amplitude.
