They're not comparable.

-- Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles moving at less than the speed of

light, with mass and kinetic energy but no characteristic frequency or wavelength.

-- Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.

Why will sound of low frequencies travel farther in air than sound of high frequencies?

The answer to this question has to do with the nature of waves. A high frequency sound has a greater wavelength than a low frequency sound. A high pitched noise wave looks a bit like NNNNNNNN, whereas a low sound looks a bit more like _____. Because the high pitched noise has a "taller" wave, so to speak, it is more easily interrupted, and cannot, therefore, travel as far as a low sound. sounds with higher frequency have more energy and the energy decreases along with distance and so is the frequency........so a sound with high frequency can travel farther due to its more amplitude,wavelength and intensity. The above is in error. A high frq. sound has a shorter (time is the abcissa(x) axis) wavelength than a lower freq. sound. Tallness or amplitude is not to be confused with wavelength. Amplitude is normally the ordinate or y axis and is a measure of magnitude. Energy content is a factor of both wavelength and amplitude. Lower frequency waves commonly travel better through matter as a result of the atomic spacing of the molecules in the medium( air, solid matter etc.). i.e. Think of dominoes falling.


Why does high frequency equal low energy?

I will try to answer it as I just taught my son who is 11. This is not scientific but it's ok I think. The first thing is not to think of frequency as how often it occurs but instead how high the wave has to go to reach its mark. Like a roller coaster, when you go up the big hill its slow but long and high...then you go down and you slowly go up again to the high and back down. When you get to the short little hills that may have 6 or seven in a row they are fast and quickly one after another. This is how waves work. When a low frequency hits its mark, it hits fast and unrelenting and penetrates the object (like an xrays) but it has a short wavelength. When a high frequency signal hits its target it will hit strongly on the surface but not penetrate because its not pounding away at its target (the reason FM radio signal doesn't cause cancer) and it also has a longer longer wavelength. Fm Radio broadcasts in MHz....lower frequency, shorter wave length, higher energy. Am Radio broadcasts in Khz.....higher frequency, longer wave length, lower energy. For this reason. Fm radio wont make it too far out of an are but will get good reception inside a house or city. Am stations travel further but you lose the station when ever its hits something....like buildings. Hope these examples help...unless I'm wrong in which case my chem teacher will hate me and you are totally lost.

Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?

high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency


Does a low pitched note have a high frequency?

No, a low pitched note has a low frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with low frequency sounds corresponding to low pitched notes and high frequency sounds corresponding to high pitched notes.


Is lower pitch a low frequency or high frequency?

low


How t convert high frequency into low frequency?

To covert a high frequency to a low one, we use flip-flops.


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


Is high frequency sounds low pitch?

No, high pitch means high frequency.


What is the measurement of low or high sound called?

It may be called the pitch, the frequency, or the wavelength.A low-pitched sound has a low frequency and a long wavelength.A high-pitched sound has a high frequency and a short wavelength.


Do low frequency sounds have a high pitch or a low pitch?

Low frequency = low pitch = long waves


Is the sound of a whale low or high frequency?

low


What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.


How do you convert low frequency to high frequency with a circuit?

You typically create a DC power supply from the low frequency, and use that to run a high frequency oscillator and amplifier. If there needs to be a relationship between frequency in and frequency out, often there is a divider running on the high frequency side in combination with a phase locked loop synching up to the low frequency side.


Why AM is high frequency in communication why not low frequency?

A.m. can be applied to a carrier of any frequency.
