Wavelength affects the pitch of sound: shorter wavelengths correspond to higher pitch, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower pitch. In the context of sound waves, shorter wavelengths are associated with higher frequencies, while longer wavelengths are associated with lower frequencies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.

Yes, wavelength directly affects pitch. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the pitch, and the longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch. This relationship is due to the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.
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.
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.
How does temperature affect wavelength?
As the wavelength of sound increases, its frequency decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in sound waves, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases.
The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound in air is around 343 m/s, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 42 Hz would be approximately 8.17 meters.
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
