what is being asked for in this question is "frequency(f)", but in order to answer to answer this question, there is need to know the velocity of this sound wave and its wave length. since there are non of these mentioned in the question, i will give my own values, let the velocity be 330m/s which is the speed of sound in air and let the wave length be 30m. therefore f=velocity/wave length: which gives f=330m per second/30m = 11 hertz

What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?

A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.


The hertz is used to measure the frequency of sound if something is rated at 150 hertz what does that mean?

That means that whatever that wave is, whether it be a radio or television wave, is moving up and down 150 times per second.


How are wavelength and the frequency of a wave related?

You can measure a wave either by the physical distance between two similar points (wave length), or by how many similar points pass, in the period of one second. (cycles per second or Hertz) The relationship between them depends on the speed on the wave through the medium in which they exist. So for radio waves, they travel at the speed of light which is 300,000,000 metres per second. To covert from one to the other simply divide 300,000,000 by the known number to give the vaue of the unknown. eg. 200khz = 200,000 cycles per second. Divide 300,000,000 by 200,000 = 1500 which is in metres. BBC radio 4 is on 200khz longwave which equals 1500metres.


Hertz Hz is the unit used to measure a wave's?

Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.


What is something that is produced by a wavelength?

No. Frequency is a quotient, or proportion (it is a division). Common frequencies are miles per hour (miles/hour), cycles per second (as in sound-- 440 sound waves per second is the standard pitch A). So frequency is the number of the 'thing' you are observing, divided by the amount of time you observed.

How to find the frequency of a sound wave?

To find the frequency of a sound wave, you can count the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in one second. This is typically measured in hertz (Hz).


What happens to a sound if the frequency is increased?

If the frequency of a sound wave is increased, the pitch of the sound also increases, making it sound higher. This means that the number of complete cycles of the wave occurring in a second is increased.


What is the unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave?

The unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or vibrations per second.


What is the number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second?

The number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second is known as the frequency of the wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and corresponds to the number of complete wave cycles passing the point in one second.


What you perceive as the pitch of a sound is your sensory response to its?

frequency, which is the number of cycles per second the sound wave goes through. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch perceived.


What is the number of cycles per second of a wave?

The number of cycles per second of a wave is typically referred to as its frequency and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A frequency of 1 Hz means one cycle per second.


What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?

The unit to measure the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz). One hertz is equal to one cycle per second. Frequency is a measure of how many wave cycles occur in a given time period, typically measured in seconds. In the context of sound waves, frequency determines the pitch of the sound, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


If a note had a frequency of 400 Hz. State how many sound waves pass a point per second?

If a note has a frequency of 400 Hz, it means that 400 sound waves pass a point per second. This is because the frequency of a sound wave is the number of complete cycles of a wave that pass a point in a given time period, usually one second. Therefore, in this case, 400 complete cycles or sound waves pass a point in one second.


What is the number of cycles a wave passes a stationary point in one second called?

The number of cycles a wave passes a stationary point in one second is called the frequency of the wave. It is measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz is equivalent to one cycle per second.


What is the number of wave or cycles per second called?

The unit of cycles per second is called Hertz


What is the frequency of a sound wave that has thirty compressions in one second?

The frequency is 30 per second, or 30 'Hertz'.


What does the frequency of a wave measure?

The frequency of a wave measures the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in one second. It is typically expressed in hertz (Hz) and is directly related to the pitch of sound waves or the color of light waves.
