What property of sound is affected by change in air temperature?

The speed, and therefore also the wavelength (for sound of a given frequency), are affected by temperature.


How speed of sound increases wave length?

The speed of sound depends on the medium the waves pass through, and is a fundamental property of the material. It itself cannot increase wave length as it is merely a property and not an active force that can modify anything.


What is a property of sound that changes with frequency?

One property of sound that changes with frequency is pitch. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived to be, and it is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequencies are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequencies are perceived as lower pitch sounds.


Double the frequency of sound and you also double its?

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 approximate wavelength of a 100 Hz tone?

For any wave, speed = wavelength x frequency. The speed of sound in air is about 331 m/sec., so the wavelength in this case would be 331 / 100 = 3.31 meters; however, the speed of sound depends on temperature. It also has Avery different values in materials other than air.


What structure of a sound depends on the frequency of its own sound wave?

It's frequency, obviously, and also its wavelength. Its speed as well.


What are the characteristics of a sound wave?

Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air or water. They have characteristics like frequency, amplitude, and wavelength. Frequency determines pitch, amplitude determines volume, and wavelength determines the distance between wave peaks. Sound waves can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted, and they can also interfere with each other.


What will be the effect on wave length of a sound if the pitch of sound is increased?

If the pitch of a sound is increased, the frequency of the sound waves also increases. Since the speed of sound remains constant in a given medium, an increase in frequency results in a decrease in wavelength. Thus, a higher pitch corresponds to a shorter wavelength.


Wavelength of a sound wave decreases so that it has a higher frequency Which characteristics would you also expect to change?

If the wavelength of a sound wave decreases, you would also expect the speed of the wave to remain constant (assuming it's in the same medium). Additionally, the energy and pitch of the sound will increase as the frequency increases.


What is wavelength of 40 hertz?

The wavelength of a 40 Hz wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. For example, for sound traveling at 343 m/s (speed of sound in air at room temperature) a 40 Hz wave would have a wavelength of approximately 8.6 meters.


When a sound wave passes from air into water do you expect the frequency wavelength to change?

The speed of the wave increases, the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases. The angle of the wave also changes.
