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 rarefaction is a region in a sound wave where the particles are spread out, resulting in lower pressure than the surrounding areas. This is in contrast to a compression, where particles are closer together and pressure is higher. Rarefactions and compressions alternate in a sound wave as it travels through a medium.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
What is the opposite of a compression wave?
The opposite of a compression wave is a rarefaction wave. In a compression wave, particles are close together, whereas in a rarefaction wave, particles are spread out.
A in a transverse wave corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave?
In a transverse wave, the crest corresponds to a compression in a longitudinal wave.
What is the spread out portion of a compression wave called?
The spread out portion of a compression wave is called a rarefaction. In a compression wave, the particles are compressed together in the compression phase and spread out in the rarefaction phase.
What is sound of wave?
A compression wave.
What is the distance from the compression to the next compression in longitudinal wave called?
The distance from one compression to the next compression in a longitudinal wave is called the wavelength. This distance is often used to measure the size of the wave and determine its frequency.
Is a sonic wave a longitudinal wave?
No, a compression-rarefaction wave.
What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?
A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
Is the distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal dinal wave?
No, the distance between one compression and the next compression in a longitudinal wave is its wavelength, not its amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position as the wave passes through it.
Is a compression wave a sound wave?
yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave
What is wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?
Compression wave
