The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs.
Frequency is the number of waves passing a point per second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Amplitude: the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
Crest refers to the highest point in the wave, which is the point where the wave is at its greatest height.
A medium is needed for sound to travel through, such as air or water.
Infrasound refers to the lowest frequency sound that can be detected by the human ear.
Ultrasound refers to the use of sound waves that are too high frequency to be heard by the human ear
When the frequency of the wavelength increases, the color of the light changes from red to violet.
The speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.
The speed of sound in air is 1500 m/s.
Speed of sound in iron is 5500 m/s.
When two identical tuning fork are placed together with one of them being hit, the other will vibrate as it is resonating.
When two non-identical tuning fork are struck, the sound waves are reflected back and forth between them.
When one of the two non-identical tuning fork is struck, nothing happens to the other tuning fork.
The higher the speed limit, the higher the frequency of sound is. This means that it will be louder.
Acoustic panels and absorptive ceiling tiles are used to reduce the echo which can cause hearing loss if the decibels is over 85 dBA.
To reduce the chances with hearing loss, you can wear noise-cancelling headphones, move away from loud noises and use sound absorbent materials in the room.
