For any wave, the wavelength,l = c/f. Rearranging this, f=c/l. The speed of sound at room temperature is about 300 m/s, so an 8 m wave would have frequency of 300 m/s /8 m =37.5 cycles/s, a little bit lower than the E string on a Bass Guitar, which is the same as the fifth white key on a piano.

The slower an object vibrates the longer wavelength will be?

Yes, the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. As frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. Therefore, if an object is vibrating more slowly, it will produce waves with longer wavelengths.


How does the length of a pipe compare with the frequency and wavelength of the sound it can make?

The length of a pipe is directly proportional to the wavelength of the sound it can produce, meaning longer pipes produce longer wavelengths. Frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the pipe, so longer pipes produce lower frequencies. The relationship between pipe length, frequency, and wavelength is determined by the speed of sound in the medium the pipe is placed in.


If you wished to produce a sound with a wavelength in air equal to the length of the room 5 meter what would be its frequency?

To calculate the frequency, you can use the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. Since the wavelength is equal to the length of the room (5 meters), the frequency would be 343 / 5 = 68.6 Hz.


If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produce change?

As all EM waves do a constant speed ('c'). If the frequency increases (i.e. the waves are more frequent) the distance between the wave peaks (wavelength) must reduce. For visible light waves, this produces a 'blue shift.'


Which wavelength has the highest frequency?

Shorter wavelengths produce a higher resolution because it allows you to see points that are closer together.


If you wished to produce a sound with a wavelength in air equal to the length of the room 5 meter What would be its freqquency?

The frequency of a sound wave is given by the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is about 343 m/s. The wavelength of 5 meters gives a frequency of 343 / 5 = 68.6 Hz.


What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves produce higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequency waves produce lower-pitched sounds. The pitch is perceived by the human ear based on how rapidly the sound wave vibrates.


Why does changing the wavelength change the sound?

Changing the wavelength of a sound wave changes the pitch of the sound. Shorter wavelengths produce higher pitch sounds, while longer wavelengths produce lower pitch sounds. This is because the frequency of the sound wave (which determines pitch) is inversely proportional to the wavelength.


How does the frequency of radiant energy relate to the absolute temperature of the radiating source?

A low temp source emits low-frequency, long wavelength waves. A medium temp source emits medium frequency, medium wavelength waves. A high temp source emits high frequency, short wavelength waves.


Do waves with longer wavelengths have less energy than waves with shorter wavelengths?

A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.


Two whistles produce sounds of wavelength 3.4 m and 3.3 m. What is the beat frequency produced?

The beat frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the two whistles. Here, the beat frequency would be 1 / (3.4 m) - 1 / (3.3 m) = 1 Hz.


Transition A produces light with a wavelength of 400 nm Transition B involves twice as much energy as A What wavelenth light does it produce?

Transition B produces light with half the wavelength of Transition A, so the wavelength is 200 nm. This is due to the inverse relationship between energy and wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
