What is the number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second?
frequency (probably of sound which is also called the pitch)
What is wavelength of sound?
In physics, wavelength is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).Sound waves are longitudinal waves; their wavelength can be measured as the distance between two successive compressions (higher pressure and density regions) or two successive compressions (lower pressure and density regions). Mathematically : wavelength of sound wave = speed of the wave / frequency where wavelength is measured in meters speed is measured meters/second frequency is measured is Hz or second-1
What is the physical action which produced sound?
Sound is a form of Energy that creates a sensation of hearing in our ears . Sound is produced by Vibration that is contraction and expansion of the Sound Particles . We can see this at our home speakers the Vibration . Sound in physics is produced by vibrations which carry energy across a medium such as the air. As you talk, the air in your mouth is pushed and vibrates air molecules in front of the air molecules in your mouth to transfer the energy/sound waves. This keeps happening until the sound reaches, say, another person. Inherently, the sound as you go farther away decreases because you lose energy because the world is not ideal in a physics-sense. Sound differs based on amplitude and frequency. High frequency corresponds to high pitch as does low frequency to low pitch. High amplitude corresponds to loud sound as does low amplitude to low sound.
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
Indicate the frequency level of a sound?
Frequency is usually not measured in "levels" (though the sound pressure or volume is) Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz) or vibrations per second. Sound pressure is measured in Decibels
What is the number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second?
frequency (probably of sound which is also called the pitch)
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.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What is wavelength of sound?
In physics, wavelength is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).Sound waves are longitudinal waves; their wavelength can be measured as the distance between two successive compressions (higher pressure and density regions) or two successive compressions (lower pressure and density regions). Mathematically : wavelength of sound wave = speed of the wave / frequency where wavelength is measured in meters speed is measured meters/second frequency is measured is Hz or second-1

Is frequency associated only with sound?
No, sound is a wave, all waves have a frequency. The frequency is how many waves pass by a certain point in 1 second. Sound is a longitudinal wave.
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.
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
What unit is sound frequency measured in?
Frequency is measured in hertz. Cycles per second.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
Indicate the frequency level of a sound?
Frequency is usually not measured in "levels" (though the sound pressure or volume is) Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz) or vibrations per second. Sound pressure is measured in Decibels
The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?
The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
