Question

Briefly explain any five Characteristics of sound.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sound is a longitudinal wave which consists of compressions and rarefactions travelling through a medium. Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Answer 2

Five characteristics of sound are hereunder:

1. Frequency (also known as pitch) – it makes the sound being listened to higher or lower.
2. Amplitude – It signifies the loudness of the sound
3. Wavelength – The length of one complete wave is called wavelength
4. Time Period – The time required to complete one wave cycle or one vibration is called a time period.
5. Velocity – Distance traveled by a wave in one second is called velocity
