There is no set length on any sound wave. Sound waves vary hugely in the

length that they can be.

The length of any sound wave is (the speed of sound in the current medium)/(the frequency of the sound) In air at sea level, the wavelengths in the audible range of frequencies range

from 1.72 centimeters (at 20 KHz) to 17.2 meters (at 20 Hz) ... a ratio of 1,000.

The speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second and the wavelength is then related to the frequency of the sound by

L=343/frequency

Thus a 343 Hertz tone have a wavelength of 1 meter and a 686 hertz tone have a wavelength of 0.5 meter.

The period is the reciprocal of (' 1 ' divided by) the frequency of the sound wave.

Does a period effect the frequency of a soundwave?

Period and frequency are 'locked' together, not independent numbers. They're simply the reciprocals of each other.Period = 1 / (frequency).Frequency = 1 / (period).So definitely, if one changes, the other changes. Their product is always [ 1 ].
