One wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. In the context of light and sound waves, wavelength determines the color of light and pitch of sound. Light waves with shorter wavelengths appear blue or violet, while longer wavelengths appear red or orange. Similarly, sound waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths and are perceived as higher pitches, while lower frequencies have longer wavelengths and are perceived as lower pitches.

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.


When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?

The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.


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.


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


As the frequency of sound waves increases the wavelength of the sound dereases.?

That's a correct statement. Although you didn't ask a question, I'll go on and add to it: The frequency and wavelength of any wave phenomenon, not only sound, change in exact inverse proportion, so that their product is constant. That product is the speed of the wave.

How does wavelength affect sound and light?

Wavelength affects sound by determining the pitch of the sound. Shorter wavelengths create higher pitch sounds, while longer wavelengths create lower pitch sounds. In terms of light, wavelength determines the color that is perceived. Shorter wavelengths correspond to blue and violet light, while longer wavelengths correspond to red and orange light.


How are amplitude and sound related?

amplitude and sound are related because sound comes in soundwaves, amplitude is the height of the wave while wavelength (spelling?) is the length of the wave


Is The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its?

The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.
