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
What can 87.5 be divided into a whole fraction?
There cannot be a whole fraction. If it is a fraction it is not whole and if it is whole it is not a fraction.
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
