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.
That is it is the length of one complete wave.May 7, 2018
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure.
Longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic P-waves .
In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave, and waves can be either straight or round.
