Q1:Which sound wave will have its crests farther apart from each other - a
wave with frequency 100 Hz or a wave with frequency 500 Hz?


Sagot :

Answer /The wave with frequency 100 will have its crests farther apart as its wavelength Will be more or elevated.

Explanation:

For sound waves, the velocity ‘v’ is equal to the product of wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) i.e. (v = n × λ or v/n = λ). Therefore, frequency is indirectly proportional to the wavelength.

The sound wave with frequency 100 will have its crests farther apart from each other as frequency is indirectly proportional to the wavelength. The speed of a wave is uninfluenced by variation in the frequency. Therefore, the less frequency wave will have more wavelength.
