Speed of sound is not frequency dependent. Speed of sound is dependent only on the temperature. At 20°C the speed of sound is 343 m/s.

The velocity of sound in air is independent of change in what variable?

The velocity of sound in air is independent of changes in frequency. Sound waves travel at a constant speed determined by the properties of the medium they are traveling through, such as air temperature and pressure.


What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?

Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.


What three things affect the frequency of a sound wave?

The three things that affect the frequency of a sound wave are the source of the sound (vibration frequency), the medium through which the sound wave is traveling (speed of sound in the medium), and the relative motion between the source of the sound and the observer (Doppler effect).


What is the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 18 kHz near the high end of your hearing range?

The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of sound in air (around 343 m/s) by the frequency of the sound wave. For a 18 kHz sound wave, the wavelength would be approximately 19.1 cm.


Sound waves whose frequency is 300 Hz have a speed relative to sound waves in the same medium whose frequency is 600 Hz that is?

Since velocity of wave = frequency x wavelength (or v=fλ), and velocity is assumed to be the same for both since they're in the same medium,f1λ1 = f2λ2300λ1 = 9000λ2λ1/λ2 = 9000/300 = 30Thus, the wavelength of the 300Hz frequency sound wave is 30 times greater than the 9000Hz frequency sound wave.

What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?

If you change sound's frequency and hold the velocity constant, the sound's wavelength also changes. If you change sound's frequency and keep the wavelength constant, then velocity also changes.


When both source and listener move in the same direction with a velocity equal to half the velocity of sound the change in frequency of the sound as detected by the listener is?

The frequency heard by the listener will increase as both the source and listener move towards each other. The change in frequency is given by the Doppler effect equation: f' = f * (v + v_L) / (v - v_S) where f' is the observed frequency, f is the actual frequency, v is the speed of sound, v_L is the speed of the listener, and v_S is the speed of the source.

How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?

The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.


What is the frequency of a sound wave having a velocity of 341 meters and wavelength of 0.8 meters?

The frequency of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: frequency = velocity / wavelength. Plugging in the values given, we get frequency = 341 m/s / 0.8 m = 426.25 Hz. Therefore, the frequency of the sound wave is 426.25 Hertz.


What it the velocity of a sound wave with a frequency of 425 Hz and a wavelength of 0.75 m?

The velocity of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: velocity = frequency x wavelength. Plugging in the values, velocity = 425 Hz x 0.75 m = 318.75 m/s. So, the velocity of the sound wave is 318.75 m/s.


How do you change the pitch of a sound?

You have to amplify the sound.


What would be the observable change in the sound when the frequency changes?

what would be an observable change in sound when the frequency changes


When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?

When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.


Does the velocity of sound change with medium?

Yes, the velocity of sound changes with the medium it travels through. Sound travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gases due to differences in their atomic and molecular structures. The speed of sound is determined by the medium's density, elasticity, and temperature.


What would be an observable change in sound when the frequency changes?

An observable change in sound when the frequency changes is a difference in pitch. As the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher, and as the frequency decreases, the pitch becomes lower. This change in pitch is due to the direct relationship between frequency and pitch in sound waves.


How are you able to change the intencity of a sound wave?

The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations. Better control the sound pressure level SPL.
