wave length is a word to do about sound.

for example if a sound is low and it

gets high and gets low again it called

a wavelength

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 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.


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.


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.

Are sound waves all the same size?

Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.


Measure of sound?

Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.

What sound has a short wavelength?

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

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.


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.
