Wavelength of sound is measured using the following formula: 1126.8/F - where 1126.8 is the speed of sound (at standard temperature and pressure measured in feet per second) and F is the frequency (in Hz).

Therefore, 1126.8/20=56.34 ft

How many Hz does a p wave have?

A P wave has a frequency range of 0.5 to 20 Hz, with typical frequencies falling between 2 to 8 Hz.


How do you calculate the length of a Hz sine wave?

The length of a Hz sine wave can be calculated using the formula: length = 1/frequency. For example, for a sine wave of 1 Hz, the length would be 1 second. This formula is derived from the relationship between frequency (number of cycles per second) and the period (duration of one cycle), where period = 1/frequency.


How do you convert to hz?

you take the wave length in meteres, and divide it by the time of travel in seconds. m/s=hz


What sound does a sinus wave make?

A sinus wave simply means that the instantaneous value is equal to the sine of the phase. Sound is determined more by the frequency of the wave. Frequency is the amount of time it takes for a wave to return to any given value repeatedly and is measured in Hertz (abbreviated Hz). A 1,000 Hz tone will sound much different than a 10,000 Hz tone. Changing the wave from sinusoidal to a trapezoidal or square wave will have an effect on sound but this is normally heard as the frequency of the wave with distortion.


What wave can be detected by the ear?

sound waves, between about 20 Hz to 20000 Hz (for most people).


How fast is a wave moving if its wave length is 10 meters and its frequency is 110 Hz?

The formula for a wave in this case is: speed = frequency x wavelength. Since Hz = 1/second, the answer will be in meter/second.


Which type of sound wave can not be detected by humans?

Humans can hear with in a range of 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is infrasound, and above 20,000 Hz (20 kHz) is ultrasound.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 0.2 Hz and a frequency of 100 meters?

The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying its wavelength by its frequency. Therefore, the speed of the wave with a 0.2 Hz wavelength and 100 meters frequency would be 20 meters per second (0.2 Hz * 100 meters = 20 m/s).


What is the frequency of a sound wave?

The frequencies (cycles per second) of the audible vibrations are between 20 Hz and 20000 Hz.


1 The lowest pitch that the average human can hear has a frequency of 20.0 Hz What is the wavelength of the wave if it has a speed of 331 ms?

With a speed of 331 m/s and a frequency of 20 Hz the wavelength is (331 m/s)/(20 Hz)=16,55 m .
