define wave motion and how many types of wave motion ? what is the wavelength of sound in a medium in which the speed of sound is 2.4km/s . if the frequency of the sound is 3kfz?
Answers
Answer:
There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves. The animations below demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.
Explanation:
Wavelength is the distance between waves. ... This distance is called the "wavelength". Sound travels at about 750 miles/hour, so the compression waves between 100 hz and 20,000 hz have wavelengths that range between several feet (for the 100 hz sound) to a fraction of an inch (for the 20,000 hz sound).
Answer:
The following animations were created using a modifed version of the Mathematica® Notebook " Sound Waves" by Mats Bengtsson. Longitudinal Waves.
