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.
What else can I help you with?
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?
Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
What will the ear perceive when the sound's amplitude is high?
A loud sound.
How does sound travel from the instrument to your ears?
well, when the istrument is played, something of it would vibrate, this vibration causes waves (called sound waves) to travel through the air. These waves then hit a small part inside our ear, called an eardrum, these vibrations are then sent to our brain through tiny nerves attached to the eardrum.
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
Does pitch of sound change underwater?
No, the pitch (frequency) does not change, but its speed is much greater* because you are using a totally different medium to transmit the sound, some frequencies can carry farther under water than they do in the air and other frequencies (the high frequencies) can't go as far in water. Sound is a wave the lower the wave the farther it can travel, the higher the wave the shorter distance it can go before it loses it's energy by the dampening effect of the medium. ' ++++ *Mean sound speed in air: 340m/s. In sea-water, about 1500m/s. ' The higher the frequency the greater the damping attenuation, on top of the frequency-independent square-law attenuation by distance anyway, in any medium.
How high does sound travel?
Sound can travel effectively through air for several miles, depending on factors like temperature and humidity. In water, sound can travel much farther, up to hundreds of miles. In space, where there is no medium to carry sound waves, sound cannot travel at all.
What means how high or low a sound is?
The pitch of a sound refers to how high or low it is. It is determined by the frequency of the sound waves, with high frequencies corresponding to high pitches and low frequencies to low pitches.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its?
frequency. Sound waves with high frequencies are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while sound waves with low frequencies are perceived as low-pitched sounds.
Are sound waves with high frequencies longer or shorter?
shorter
Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?
No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
What does the pitch of a sound mean?
The pitch of a sound refers to how high or low the sound is perceived. It is determined by the frequency of the sound waves, with higher frequencies producing higher pitches and lower frequencies producing lower pitches.
Do high-pitched sounds have high frequencies?
Yes, high-pitched sounds have high frequencies. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived, while frequency is the number of sound wave cycles that occur in one second. Higher-pitched sounds have higher frequencies because they have shorter wavelengths and more cycles per second.
Are high dB's good for bass?
High dBs make all frequencies sound louder.
Why do low frequency waves travel longer distances?
High frequencies are more damped by air than low frequencies.
What does pitch mean in science terms for kids?
In science, pitch refers to how high or low a sound is. It is determined by the frequency of the sound waves, with high frequencies producing high-pitched sounds and low frequencies producing low-pitched sounds.
How high or low a sound is called a?
The highness or lowness of a sound is called its pitch. This is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies producing higher pitches and lower frequencies producing lower pitches.
