How can you tell by looking at it if a wave has high or low frequency?

High-frequency waves have more waves packed into the same distance compared to low-frequency waves, with shorter distances between wave crests. So, a high-frequency wave appears to have more waves in a given space, while a low-frequency wave looks more stretched out with fewer waves in the same space.


Can you tell by looking at a sound wave how high or low pitched it is?

Yes, the frequency of a sound wave determines how high or low pitched it is. High frequency waves create high-pitched sounds, while low frequency waves create low-pitched sounds. The wave pattern can give an indication of pitch, with shorter wavelengths indicating higher pitch and longer wavelengths indicating lower pitch.


How can you tell if the notes frequency is getting lower?

You can tell if the note's frequency is getting lower by listening for a decrease in pitch. As the frequency decreases, the note will sound deeper. You can also use a tuner or a frequency analyzer to measure the frequency of the note.


What does the frequency of sound tell us?

The frequency of sound refers to the number of vibrations per second and determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequencies correspond to higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequencies correspond to lower-pitched sounds. Understanding the frequency of sound can help in understanding the musical notes, identifying different sounds, and measuring noise levels.


What is 100 kHz in DB?

Decibels (dB) is a unit used for measuring the intensity of a sound or the power of an electrical signal. Without specific context or reference levels, it is not possible to convert 100 kHz to dB as they are different units of measurement (frequency vs decibels).

What unit of frequency is use to measure processor speed?

The measurement of processor core frequency is defined in the name of Hertz, which is for cycles per second (this is the frequency you refer to.) This is an electromagnetic waveform frequency. One high and low of the waveform would be equal to one Hertz measurement cycle.
