What are the characteristics of sound waves?

The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.


How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?

frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength


How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?

frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength


What sound does a longitudinal wave make?

It depends on the wavelength and frequency of the wave.


How do you find the wavelength of a wave?

To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.


What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave after reflection?

it changes


Are there any science words that starts with W?

Wave, as in sound wave, and weight.


Define 1 complete vibration of a sound wave?

Wavelength


In a compressional wave one wavelength is the distance between adjacent compressions or adjacent?

sound wave


Does A sound wave has a speed which is mathematically related to the frequency and the wavelength of the wave?

Yes - The speed is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength,but you have to be careful how you think about that. The speed doesn't dependon the frequency or wavelength.


How are amplitude and sound related?

amplitude and sound are related because sound comes in soundwaves, amplitude is the height of the wave while wavelength (spelling?) is the length of the wave


How do you find a wave's speed?

v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength
