Speed of sound waves?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium in which it travels. In air medium, speed of sound wave is approximately 330 m/s.
What is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 17.0 m?
Divide the speed of sound by the wavelength, to get the frequency. The period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The speed of sound in air is about 343 meters/second, but it depends on temperature. The speed of sound in other materials is quite different from the speed of sound in air.
Which is faster the speed of sound or the speed of air?
The speed of sound depends on the air factors around it
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
How do sounds made and how do they travel?
sounds are made by vibrations when air molecules move either back or forth
What effects speed and sound wave?
It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
Is the speed of sound equal to an electromagnetic wave?
No, speed of sound in air is much slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
What is the speed and sound of air?
the speed of sound is describes how much distance is such a wave travels in a certain amount of time and the sound of air is wind noises.lol!! ~ ~
The peak of sound wave where the lowest air pressure occurs?
The speed of sound does not change with atmospheric pressure. The speed of sound changes with temperature.
How do the velocities of a sound wave and electromagnetic wave compare to each other?
In air at sea level, the speed of electromagnetic waves isroughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.
When traveling from air to a solid what would you expect a sound wave to do?
Speed up
Does the speed of the wave change when you increase the tension of the spring?
No. The speed of sound is dependent on air pressure and temperature.
