How does wavelength change when frequency is constant?
the wavelength changes when the frequency changes if the wavelengths are smaller and thinner then the frequency is high, when the frequency is slow then the wavelengths is larger and wider. if the frequency is constant then the wavelength is a normal size
What quality of sounds does a physician hear as overactive bowel sounds?
During an examination a physician hears overactive bowel sounds known as high-pitched tinkling bowel sounds.
Do plants make sounds?
It's been said that they do when they are hurt or threatened, but the sound is too high pitched to hear.
Smaller objects have higher pitch than larger objects?
Usually that higher the mass of an object, the lower the resonant frequency the object will be. Example: Dropping a heavy chunk of iron will make a low frequency sound (thud or boom) and dropping a small scrap of sheet metal will make a high frequency sound (ping).
Things that can create loud sounds?
a fully loaded milk truck dropped from a crane 50 ft high.
What is the area you observe larger or smaller when us high power on microscope?
A smaller area, but larger objects is in view with a microscope on high power.
What animals can hear sounds with too high a frequency for humans to hear?
Most animals can, but dogs can definitely hear them.
Is the mid-ocean ridge larger or smaller than the Himalayas?
It depends on what you mean by larger or smaller. The ridge is much longer than the Himalayas, but does not rise as high above the surrounding terrain.
Are painted turtles deaf?
No. Painted turtles hear a smaller range of sounds than humans, only the low frequencies, with no capability for high pitched sounds.
Where is the low side of ac air compressor 1997 Saturn?
low side of a/c is the larger diameter line it the smaller fitting(charge side) vs. high side is your smaller line larger fitting
What are some advantages and disadvantages of being big?
Larger animals have better defenses and are more intimidating (many are skilled predators). Being big makes the animal harder to hide, and harder to sustain. The ratio of an animal's surface area to its total volume(mass) is high for small animals, but low for large animals such as elephants or whales. This ratio helps large mammals to retain heat which is why in many cold climates there are many larger mammals. In warmer climates mammals have ways to lose this excess heat (elephant ears have high surface area). Smaller animals lose heat at a much higher rate so to compensate they have very high metabolic rates, this is why smaller animals usually have a short life-span (less time to grow). Larger animals live longer (more time to grow) and reproduce at a slower rate so they are more vulnerable to extinction and are less likely to adapt quickly to changing ecosystems.
What breeds of ponies are larger than 11 hands but smaller than 13 hands high?
Welch ponies.
What do snakes do for the wetlands?
Snakes are predators that help keep the populations of smaller animals from growing too high. The animals whose populations are controlled depends on the type and size of the snake. Water snakes and smaller boas and pythons control populations of fish and small rodents respectively. Large pythons and anacondas control larger animals such as capybaras, wild pigs, and wading birds. Small snakes are also prey for some animals such as crocodilians and wading birds.
Does high school have three teams in soccer in all grades?
No. Smaller high schools have fewer soccer teams. Larger high school tend to have more soccer teams.
Can animals hear sounds that humans can't hear?
yes, animals hear thousands of high pitched noises that we cant hear at all. hope this helps :)
What ecosystems would you expect to have high species richness and low species richness?
|I would expect the smaller ecosystems to have a high species richness and smaller ecosystems to have low species richness because the biodiversity in the smaller ecosystem is actually larger than the larger ecosystem causing many problems in the atmosphere... which over time can cause a extinction towards many living organisms.
How do you think the strings that produce the low pichted sounds differ from the strings that produce the high piched sounds?
The lower pitched strings are larger and slightly looser than those of a higher pitch.
