A sound that is lower in pitch has a larger wavelength. Some animals such as Elephants and Whales use that sound to communicate with each other. The larger wavelength lets them communicate with animals miles away.

Is wavelength of sound greater than light?

no,wave length of sound is equal to wavelength of sound as when thunder appears,light appears first than sound because of more speed than sound but we can't considere that wave length of sound is greater than that of light


What is a description of sound as high or low?

High pitch sound waves have greater frequency and shorter wavelength, while low pitch sound waves have lower frequency and longer wavelength. These differences are perceived by our ears as the pitch of the sound.


If wavelength of light is 104 of radii of earth than why it will penetrate deeper in sea?

if wavelength of light is of order of radii of earth then why it will penetrate deeper in sea?


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 wave has the greater wavelength?

A radio wave has a greater wavelength compared to a visible light 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.


Can you play a semi-hollow unamplified?

Yes, and the deeper the body is, the greater the size of the hollow chamber, the louder the guitar will sound unplugged.


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.


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.
