Yes, they do. The frequency of a sound doesn't effect the speed at which it moves; i.e. approx 330meters per second (through air). For example; a sound with a frequency of 600Hz has the same velocity as a sound with frequency 300Hz, the difference being that the sound at 300Hz would have half as many wavelengths in the same distance from source as the sound at 600Hz.

Which physical quantity remain unchanged when light and sound passes through medium?

Its FREQUENCY remains the same. Remember that when sound waves travel from air to water, its frequency remains the same, which is why people do not seem to have higher or lower voices under water. However the amplitude and velocity do change if it is a sound wave.


Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?

No. The frequencies determine the sound.


Do all frequencies of sound travel faster in warm air than in cool air?

Frequencies of sound should travel faster in cold air because it is more dense than warm air. Sound propagates much faster through water than air for the same reason.


Is the velocity of light more than velocity of radio waves?

No as they are both electromagnetic waves so have the same velocity but have differing wavelengths and frequencies.


When sound enters another medium such as a wall what remains constant?

When sound enters another medium such as a wall, the frequency or pitch of the sound remains constant. The velocity or speed of sound may change depending on the properties of the medium, but the frequency remains the same.


Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?

no


Are sound waves all the same size?

Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.


What are two sound waves with the same frequencies and different amplitudes?

Same pitch but with different loudness


Why all objects travel at the same velocity?

All objects do not travel at the same velocity. As an example, you should take a few minutes and think about an earthworm and a jet airliner.


Can the speed of a body change if its velocity is changed?

Simly stated, velocity is speed in a defined direction. If you travel 5mph north, the speed is the same as if you travel 5mph east, but the velocity is different.


A car is traveling at a velocity of 70 km hr west to have the same velocity another car would have to travel at?

Another car would have to travel at 70 km/hr west.To have the same velocity, it must have the same speed toward the same direction.


Do sound waves travel the same?

no
