The number of vibrations a wave goes through in a given time is called the frequency of the wave. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), which represents the number of vibrations per second.

What is number of cycles of a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time?

The number of cycles a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time is determined by the frequency of the waves. The frequency is the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a given point in one second. So, to calculate the number of cycles the particle goes through in a certain time period, you would multiply the frequency of the waves by the duration of time.


What properties of sound is determined by the speed of the vibrations creating the sound?

All properties such as a as liquid, solid, or a gas. All sound goes through a medium of a solid, liquid or a gas.


What happens you increase the vibrations of sound?

Two things happen when you increase the vibrations of sound: 1. If the 'increase' is in strength, that is, bigger and deep vibrations, then the sound is louder. 2. If you increase the number of vibrations per second, then the pitch of the sound goes up .


Does sound waves travel fastest through air?

No, sound waves travel fastest through solids, as the particles are closer together and can transmit vibrations more efficiently. In gases like air, sound waves travel slower due to the greater distance between particles.


What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?

Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
