That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.

Is it possible for a 440 hz sound wave to be louder than an 880 hz sound wave?

Absolutely 440 Hz is the frequency of the A note that is 1½ steps below middle C, the top line of the bass clef. 880 Hz is the frequency of the A note one octave higher, the second space from the bottom of the treble clef. On a piano, if you slam hard on the lower of those two A keys and just lightly press the higher one, the 440-Hz sound will be louder than the 880-Hz sound. The loudness, or amplitude, of a sound wave has to do with how tightly the air molecules (or the molecules of whatever the sound-propagating medium is) are packed in each wave of the sound, while the sound's frequency or pitch has to do with how frequently the waves are generated (440 times per second in the case of a 440-Hz sound), or how far apart the waves are (frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength).


What is the second harmonic of the frequency of 440 Hz?

The second harmonic of a frequency of 440 Hz is 880 Hz. It is exactly twice the frequency of the original sound wave.


What would the beat frequency be if you added tones of 880 Hz and 882 Hz?

The number of beats that we hear per second is the beat frequency. It is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two notes. In this case: Beat frequency = 882 Hz - 880 Hz = 2 Hz. This means that we will hear the sound getting louder and softer 2 times per second.

How many kilometres equals 880 miles?

1416.22 kilometres is 880 miles.


Is a note with a frequency of 262 hz lower than a note with a frequency of 880 hz?

That is correct. 262 Hz is the frequency of the note "middle C" on a piano keyboard, while 880 Hz is the frequency of the note A one octave above the note A above middle C on a piano keyboard.

Is the frequency of 262 Hz lower than a not of a freqency of 880 Hz?

The greater the number the higher the frequency. Zero frequency is called DC in electricity. Audio frequencies start at 20 Hz (Hertz= cycles per second) and go up to 20,000 Hz. Adults usually can't hear above 12,000 Hz so this is why the teenagers use a ring tone of 13,000 Hz while in school. The teachers can't hear it. Refer to kHz which is 1,000 Hz. There for 20 kHz is 20,000 Hz.
