How does the wavelength of a G-note sound wave compare to the wavelength of an A-note sound wave?
Assuming that both notes are in the range of C4 (middle C) and C5, G has a frequency of 392Hz, and A has a frequency of 440Hz. Assuming that both sound waves are travelling through air, through which sound travels at 340ms-1, then the wavelengths for G and A can be found to be 0.87m and 0.77m, respectively.
An easier way to assess a change in wavelength would be to look at the equation v=fλ, where v is the speed of sound, f is the frequency of the note, and λ is the wavelength of the note. A higher pitch note means a higher frequency, and since the speed of sound is constant, then if the pitch is increased the wavelength must compensate by decreasing.
Simply put, higher pitch means smaller wavelength.
What else can I help you with?
What is the wavelength of sound waves produced by a guitar string vibrating at 440 Hz?
Wavelength = velocity of sound in the medium / frequency Here velocity is not given. Let it be 330 m/s So required wavelength = 330/440 = 3/4 = 0.75 m
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and what?
only wavelengthActually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/swhere T is the kelvin temperature.
What does a flute sound compare to?
It compares to a violin, but with a smoother sound.
How do you find the wavelength of a sound emitted by a tuning fork at 440 vibrations-second and the speed of sound is 332 m per s?
Wavelength = speed /frequency = 332/440 = 75.45 cm(rounded)
If the musician then presses down on the string and plucks it the sound produces has a shorter wavelength How does the pitch of the sound change?
like i know....
What kind of wave's wavelength compare to a cell?
a sound waves wavelength compares to a cell by comparing the waves one by the other. cells compared to wavelength are electromagnetic waves lol:)
What is determined by wavelength in sound?
The wavelength in sound determines the pitch of the sound. A shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher pitch, while a longer wavelength corresponds to a lower pitch.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The loudness of a sound is typically measured in terms of intensity or amplitude, not wavelength. The wavelength of a sound wave affects its pitch, not its loudness. Sound intensity is related to the amount of energy carried by the sound wave.
What sound has a short wavelength?
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
What is the wavelength of sound that has a frequency of 539.8?
The wavelength of sound can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound is around 343 m/s, we can calculate the wavelength of sound with a frequency of 539.8 Hz to be approximately 0.636 meters.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
Sound from source A has a frequency twice as great as the frequency of sound from source B compare the wavelengths of sound from two sources?
The formula goes: c = lambda times f where c is the speed in the medium (air) in meters per second lambdathe wavelength in meters and f the frequency in Hz. If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength will be halved.
Does refractionand reflection effect the wavelength of sound?
No, refraction and reflection do not affect the wavelength of sound. Wavelength is determined by the frequency of sound waves in a given medium, and it remains constant as sound waves interact through these processes. Refraction and reflection can alter the direction and intensity of sound waves, but not their wavelength.
What is the relationship connecting the frequency of the sound source with the wavelength and the speed of sound in air?
The frequency of a sound source is directly related to the wavelength and the speed of sound in air through the equation: speed of sound = frequency x wavelength. As the frequency of the sound increases, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa, provided the speed of sound remains constant in the medium.
As the wavelength of sound increase its frequency does what?
As the wavelength of sound increases, its frequency decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in sound waves, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases.
What is the wavelength of a sound whose frequency is 42 Hz?
The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound in air is around 343 m/s, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 42 Hz would be approximately 8.17 meters.
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
