If a sound wave speeds up and its frequency does not change what happens to the wavelength?
With the same speed -Apex (1.2.4)
How long does it take sound to travel 20 miles?
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To convert this to miles per hour, we multiply by 3600 seconds per hour and divide by 1609.34 meters per mile, giving us roughly 767 mph. Therefore, it would take approximately 1 minute and 34 seconds for sound to travel 20 miles in ideal conditions.
If you shout into an empty bucket your voice bounces off the sides loudly this is called?
This is echo.
Sound can be both digital and analog. In analog sound, waveforms are continuously varying, while in digital sound, the waveforms are represented by discrete binary numbers. Most modern audio technologies, such as CDs and MP3s, use digital sound, while older mediums like vinyl records use analog sound.
What do you mean by frequency of sound is 70Hz?
It means the air moves back and forth 70 times in one second. These vibrations in the air are what we perceive as sound.
Yes, some continuous loud sounds are related to hypertension (high blood pressure). In addition, sounds outside the audible range can make some people nauseous, etc., even if they are not all that loud. Loud sounds if sudden, sharp and loud enough, may damage your ear drums. An loud sounds experienced over a long enough period of time can damage your hearing.
How does sound enter your ear without bouncing away?
Sound enters the outer ear and travels down the ear canal, where it causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The shape of the ear and the presence of hair and earwax help to prevent sound from bouncing away.
Two narrow slits with gap 0.03 mm and got separated by 3 mm will be illuminated by a monochromatic light which comes out of single slit. These two slits are named as Young's double slits. The waves coming out of these two will be in coherence.
Can the sounds of frequencies less than 20 Hz hurt your ears?
yes and no... depends on how close the source is...
What are some facts about sound?
Sound moves through the air at 340m per second
If you have the time, just divide the distance by the time. That will give you the speed.
How does sound vary with distance?
There is the 1/r law for sound pressure and distance. Double the distance from a sound source gives 6 dB less sound pressure level. Scroll down to related links and look at "Sound pressure and the inverse distance law ".
Why do I hear bells when I read the Bible?
Imagination or you are more receptive to sounds that remind you of the Bible when reading it
Why does a long pendulum string disperse more energy than a shorter string?
Because it has to swish through more air molecules and push them out of the way
on every swing, more than the shorter pendulum would have to do.
Is there a Rw to dB conversion chart?
Rw is measured in units of dB, there is no need for conversion.
Yes. In some places it will be greater. In other places there will be destructive interference, and the resulting wave will be smaller than either, perhaps even zero.
