That all depends on the frequency of the sound and its speed in whatever substance
it happens to be traveling through.
In air, the wavelength of audible frequencies ranges from about 17.1 millimeters to
about 17.1 meters.
(20-20K Hz, 343 m/s)
No, the wavelength of a sound does not change when the intensity or loudness of the sound increases. The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the sound, which is determined by the source of the sound.
Sound waves depend on both frequency and wavelength, as they are inversely related through the speed of sound in a medium. The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch, while the wavelength is the distance between successive wave crests. Higher frequencies result in shorter wavelengths, and vice versa, but both parameters describe the same wave phenomenon. Thus, sound waves are characterized by their frequency and wavelength simultaneously.
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.
The frequency of this sound wave is very near constant.
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
the shorter the wave-length
wave length
The wave length is the distance between the peak of one sound pressure or electrical wave and the peak of the next. It's also known as one cycle (1 Hertz).
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
Wave length's are one of the most fundamental subjects in physics effecting sound, light and water for example. Learning how the wave length was created allows one to learn much about sound and light.
If the wavelength of a sound wave increases, the frequency of the wave decreases. This means that the pitch of the sound would decrease. Essentially, the sound wave becomes stretched out, resulting in a lower pitched sound.
The main characteristics of sound are frequency, amplitude and wave length
1) Sound wave always require material medium for their propogation. 2)Sound wave are type of transvers wave. 3)Speed of sound wave can be calculated by speed=sqrt(tension*length of wire/massof wire)
amplitude and sound are related because sound comes in soundwaves, amplitude is the height of the wave while wavelength (spelling?) is the length of the wave
The intensity of a sound wave is the power that the wave carries per unit area. It is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the sound wave and is measured in decibels (dB). The intensity of a sound is perceived by our ears as loudness.
The distance from crest to crest in a sound wave is called the wavelength. It represents the physical length of one cycle of the wave and is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave.
