Capture the sound with a microphone, feed its output into an oscilloscope with a calibrated timebase. Measure the time period T of the wave on the horizontal axis, then convert it into a frequency ( = 1/T)

What is the unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave?

The unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or vibrations per second.


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.


A frequency of one sound wave per second is called?

Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.


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


What is the unit to measure frequency of a sound wave?

The unit to measure the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz). One hertz is equal to one cycle per second. Frequency is a measure of how many wave cycles occur in a given time period, typically measured in seconds. In the context of sound waves, frequency determines the pitch of the sound, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?

ultrasonic wave is sound frequency


What instrument measures the amplitude of sound on a mobile?

A frequency meter is the instrument that is used to measure the amplitude of sound. It reads the energy from a sound wave.


The pitch of a sound wave is its?

Its' frequency.


What is one way to measure a wavelength in sound?

One way to measure a wavelength in sound is to calculate it by dividing the speed of sound in air by the frequency of the sound wave. This will give you the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase with each other.


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.
