Frequency of a sound wave depends on the bandwidth of the sound and the source of sound. There are some range of frequencies people can hear.

The sounds that ranges from about 20 to about 17,000 hertz.

What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?

The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.


Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves are perceived as lower pitch sounds.


What is the relationship between wavelength frequency and velocity of sound in air?

The wavelength of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, meaning higher frequency sound waves have shorter wavelengths. The speed of sound in air is constant at around 343 meters per second, regardless of the frequency of the sound wave. This means that as the frequency of a sound wave increases, its wavelength decreases, but the speed of sound in air remains the same.


What is the wavelength in a sound wave?

To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.

A sound wave has compressions that are very close to each other What is true about this sound wave?

The frequency of this sound wave is very near constant.


The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?

the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter


Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?

ultrasonic wave is sound frequency


The pitch of a sound wave is its?

Its' frequency.


Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


What does the pitch of a sound wave depend on?

Timbre of the sound. It is related to the frequency of the fundamental frequency and a combination of overtones.


What is the sound of a wave?

The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.


What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.


How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?

The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves are perceived as lower pitch sounds.


How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?

frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
