distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.

When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel a wavelength of 11.6 meters is measure what is the velocity of the sound through steel?
a+
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
Does sound have a wavelength?
Yes it does
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
What are three features of sound waves?
Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.Frequency; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.Amplitude; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave.

How do you find the wavelength of a sound wave?
Measure the length between two crests or two troughs.
Measure of sound?
Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
The unit which sound is measured?
The unit for measuring the volume of sound is the decibel.
What sound has a short wavelength?
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?
Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".
What is the Sound in measure is what unit?
If you would like to measure how loud the sound is, dB, decibels, would be good. To give you a rough idea, a whisper is about 30 dB, a baby crying loudly about 100 dB. Also, if you like to measure the frequency or the wavelength, you can use Hertz.
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
Does sound have a wavelength?
Yes it does
Sound with a high wavelength also has what other property?
Sound with large wavelength has low frequency / low pitch.
How measure the sun temperature?
Use a spectrometer to measure the wavelength of the light. There is a direct, but inverse correlation of the wavelength to the temperature.
