How do you find the wavelength of a sound wave?
Measure the length between two crests or two troughs.
What does dividing the wavelength by the wave period give you?
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs in a wave. And time period is the time taken for the disturbance to move from one crest to the successive one. So wavelength/ wave period (time period) = speed of the wave.
Why the golden ratio is ideal ratio?
The golden ratio is the ideal ratio because it is consistent throughout many aspects in nature - proportions of the human body, the crests and troughs of a heartbeat, the stripes on a tiger's head, et cetera. The value of the Golden Ratio is 0.5*[1 + sqrt(5)] = 1.61803 (to 5 dp)
The number of wave crests passing any given point per unit time is called the wave's?
frequency
What is the frequency of these waves As you sit on a dock you notice a wave crest pass. You count another four wave crests in the next 12 seconds?
20 waves per minute. (or 1 every 3 seconds)
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is the distance between two adjacent Wave crests or troughs?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is the distance between two adjacent crests or between two adjacent?
Wavelength is the measure of distance between adjacent crests or troughs.
What is a sentence for wavelength?
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs (peaks or valleys).
What is the distance betwtwo adjacent wave crests or troughs called?
That's called the wavelength.
What is the distance between crests or between troughs?
It is called the wavelength.
The distance between successive crests or troughs determines wave?
Wave length.
When describing waves wavelength refers to the wave's?
The wavelength is the length (distance) between two adjacent crests (or troughs, or any other part of the wave which starts repeating).
Where on a wave diagram is the wavelength?
On a wave pattern, the measurement of distance between two corresponding wave peaks, troughs or crests will give the wavelength.
What is the name of the distance between the highest point of the wave and the lowest is?
The wavelength is the horizontal distance between the crests or troughs of two successive waves.
How do you work out the wavelength of a sound?
It's the distance between any consecutive crests or troughs . it is the length of a wave .
What determines the wavelengths of a wave?
The distance between the either the crests or troughs of one cycle in a wave.
