What is the wave speed of a wave that has a wave period of 10 seconds?
You would have to know the medium and the type of wave.For example a sound wave with a period of 10 seconds would be well down in the infrasonic. In sound, a 1kHz wave has a wavelength of ~1 ft. A 1 Hz wave would have a wavelength of ~1000 ft. A 0.1Hz wave has a wavelength of ~10 000ft.BUT, if it were a compression wave in an earthquake, one would be dealing with swampy ground.A wave at sea in deep water (mid Pacific or mid Atlantic) could have such a period. An e-m wave of 0.1Hz would have a wavelength well towards our Sun.And not all media have a uniform wave velocity. e-m waves at very low frequencies travel much slower than the common ones - at least around the earth. And you know that all colours of light do not travel at equal speeds in glass.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
How do wave frequency and period of a wave relate?
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
What is rare faction of sound wave?
A rare faction is an area of a sound wave where there is lesser compression of the medium,ie Rarefaction is the reduction of a medium's density, or the opposite of compression
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
What is compression and a rarefaction in a longitudinal wave?
When you have the complete compression and rarefaction of a longitudinal wave, that is one complete wave.
What is sound of wave?
A compression wave.
Is a water wave a compression wave?
my answer is no
Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What is the difference between compression wave and electromagnetic wave?
You mean longitudinal wave by compression wave? Electromagnetic wave is transverse in nature. It does not need a material medium. It can pass even through vacuum. But compression waves bady needs a material medium.
Whatis a longitudinal wave?
Longitudinal waves are waves where the vibration of the particles is parallel to the direction of travel of the wave for eg sound is longitudinal wave. Stationary waves are produced when two or more progressive waves of the same frequency and amplitude pass through each other.
What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
Compression wave
Is light a compression wave or a transverse?
A transverse wave
What type of wave is sound wave?
A sound wave is considered a sinusoidal wave.
