An infinite number of sounds can be mixed together into a single sound wave. The different frequencies don't matter, unless they are specific frequencies that cancel each other out. You'll notice that, even though you have only two ears, you can still hear all those sounds at the same time.

Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?

No. The frequencies determine the sound.


What will be the effect of mounting two different fm radio antennas with different frequencies on the same mast?

There will be no interference because the antennas are on different frequencies.


Do all animals hear the same frequencies of sound as humans do?

No, animals do not hear the same frequencies of sound as humans. Different animals have different ranges of hearing, with some able to hear higher or lower frequencies than humans.


Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?

no


Why are the strings that produce the lower frequencies thicker and heavier?

Thicker and heavier strings vibrate at slower rates, producing lower frequencies. The mass of the string affects its ability to vibrate at faster speeds, resulting in lower pitch sounds. Thinner strings vibrate more quickly, creating higher frequencies.


Do longitudinal wave particles vibrate perpendicular to wave direction?

No, in a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate in the same direction as the wave propagates. This is different from a transverse wave, where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.


What frequency does a modern car horn vibrate?

Most car horns are built to emit a combination of two sounds of different frequencies, like what you would hear if two trumpet players each tooted a different note at the same time. Both sounds are typically somewhere in the neighborhood of a few hundred Herz.


What is the difference between oscillator and vibrators?

A violin's stings vibrate at a literally infinite number of frequencies, so that is a vibration.Oscillations occur when vibrations, from several sources, all have the same or very, very, very similar frequencies combine and become enhanced.


Do all points on standing waves vibrate with same amplitude?

No, points on standing waves do not vibrate with the same amplitude. The amplitude of vibration varies at different points along the wave, reaching a maximum at the antinodes and zero at the nodes.


Is the cochlea and the eardrum the same thing?

No. The eardrum (also known as the timpanic membrane) is a membrane that helps amplify sounds. The cochlea is deeper inside the ear, behind the eardrum. It is like a tube with little tiny hairs that vibrate at different sound frequencies which transmit information to the brain to help us percieve sound at different tones and pitches.


What can you say about the speed of different colors in air?

You can that they're all identical.


What are two or more objects vibrating together at the same natural frequencies called?

Resonance occurs when two or more objects vibrate at the same natural frequency. This phenomenon causes one object to transfer its energy to the other object, resulting in increased amplitude of vibrations.
