What is an example os a longditudinal wave?
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
How are pitch and amplitude the same?
They aren't the same. Imagine a water wave - the pitch (that is, the frequency) is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point per second. The amplitude is the height of the wave For a sound wave, the pitch is again related to the number of wave crests per second that pass a fixed point. The amplitude in this case is a measure of pressure difference between wave maxima and minima.
Is the amplitude of a sound wave determined by the sounds pitch?
No, the amplitude of a sound wave is determined by the energy or intensity of the sound wave, not its pitch. Pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, which is how fast the wave is vibrating.
What does wave lengths mean?
The wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of a wave, that is the 'distance' over which the wave's shape repeats. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (?). Wave length is a measure that is used to determine different pitches and colors. Red has a longer wave length then blue and a higher pitch has a more compact wave length then a low pitch. It is basically a measurement of the visible and auditory stimulus around us.
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
What is the measure of energy in a wave known as?
The measure of energy in a wave is known as amplitude.
What part of a wave changes when the pitch changes?
The frequency of the wave changes when the pitch changes. Pitch is our perception of the frequency of a sound wave, so as the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher and as the frequency decreases, the pitch becomes lower.
Are loudness and pitch related?
No, pitch is related to wave frequency, loudness is related to wave amplitude.
Does amplitude change when the pitch get higher?
No, the amplitude of a sound wave does not change as the pitch gets higher. The amplitude of a sound wave determines the loudness of the sound, while the pitch is determined by the frequency of the wave.
What can the amplitude of a wave be considered a measure of?
The amplitude of a wave can be considered a measure of the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their equilibrium position. It is a measure of the energy carried by the wave. A larger amplitude indicates a higher energy wave.
What is is a measure of sound frequency that determines how high or low a pitch is?
The measure of sound frequency that determines how high or low a pitch is called Hertz (Hz). The pitch of a sound is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches and lower frequencies to lower pitches.
What does the frequency of a wave measure?
The frequency of a wave measures the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in one second. It is typically expressed in hertz (Hz) and is directly related to the pitch of sound waves or the color of light waves.
