Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (36) x (12) = 432 meters per second.

Isn't this a pretty high speed for sound in air . . . ? ? ?

As the wavelength of sound increase its frequency does what?

As the wavelength of sound increases, its frequency decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in sound waves, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases.


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.


A low frequency sound is produced by a sound wave that?

An object vibrating relatively slowly produces sound waves that have low frequency and long wavelength.


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.


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.

Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?

It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.


What happens to the wavelength of a sound if the frequency is doubled?

If the frequency of a sound is doubled, the wavelength would be halved. This is because wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship: as one increases, the other decreases.


What is the frequency of a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.1 meters?

The frequency of a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.1 meters can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 m/s (at room temperature), the frequency would be 3430 Hz.


What is the wavelength of a sound whose frequency is 42 Hz?

The wavelength of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Assuming the speed of sound in air is around 343 m/s, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 42 Hz would be approximately 8.17 meters.


As the frequency of sound waves increases the wavelength of the sound dereases.?

That's a correct statement. Although you didn't ask a question, I'll go on and add to it: The frequency and wavelength of any wave phenomenon, not only sound, change in exact inverse proportion, so that their product is constant. That product is the speed of the wave.


Is the frequency of thunder a low or high sound?

The frequency of thunder is generally a low sound. Thunder is produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by lightning, creating low-frequency sound waves that we hear as rumbles and booms.


What is the wavelength of 3000Hz?

The wavelength of a sound wave at a frequency of 3000 Hz is approximately 0.113 meters in air. It is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = Speed of Sound / Frequency.
