What are wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?
Answers
Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two consecutive rarefactions or two consecutive compressions. The SI unit of wavelength is meter (m).
Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations per second. The SI unit of frequency is hertz (Hz).
Amplitude can be defined as the maximum height reached by the trough or crest of a sound wave.
The time period is defined as the time required to produce one complete cycle of a sound wave.
Answer:
(a) Wavelength – Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two consecutive rarefactions or two consecutive compressions. The SI unit of wavelength is meter (m).
