A sinus wave simply means that the instantaneous value is equal to the sine of the phase. Sound is determined more by the frequency of the wave. Frequency is the amount of time it takes for a wave to return to any given value repeatedly and is measured in Hertz (abbreviated Hz). A 1,000 Hz tone will sound much different than a 10,000 Hz tone. Changing the wave from sinusoidal to a trapezoidal or square wave will have an effect on sound but this is normally heard as the frequency of the wave with distortion.
What else can I help you with?
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
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.
Is a sound wave continuous?
A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
What if the molecules from a sound wave are compressed?
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
Which type of wave a sound wave is?
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
What sound does a longitudinal wave make?
It depends on the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
How does a change in the amplitude of a wave affect the sound produced?
Increasing the amplitude of a wave will make the sound louder, while decreasing it will make the sound quieter. Amplitude affects the volume of the sound but not its pitch.
What difference in a note does the amplitude of its sound wave make?
The amplitude of a sound wave determines the volume or loudness of the note. A higher amplitude wave produces a louder sound, while a lower amplitude wave produces a quieter sound.
How do you make sound on little alchemy?
Metal + wind = sound
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.
When you clap your hands together what kind of wave did you make?
When you clap your hands together, you create a compression wave, also known as a sound wave. This wave is produced by the vibrations of your hands colliding and propagates through the air as a pressure disturbance that we perceive as sound.
Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?
No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
Is a sound wave a transverse wave?
Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Is sound a transverse wave?
No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.
Volume of a sound wave is equal to the what?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the same as its volume.
