How long is wavelength?
A wavelength is the distance between 2 successive waves (sound waves, ocean waves, or any other wave.)
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
What kind of wave's wavelength compare to a cell?
a sound waves wavelength compares to a cell by comparing the waves one by the other. cells compared to wavelength are electromagnetic waves lol:)
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Do sound waves have wavelenght?
Yes. The wavelength of a sound is(speed of sound in air)/(frequency of the sound) .
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
What do sound waves have in common with other mechanical waves?
They have the same wavelength and harmony. Sometimes the amplitude.
What are two main categories for waves?
wavelength, amplitude or maybe you meant sound and light (waves?)
What is short wavelength?
The distance between one waves crest or trough to the next waves peak or trough respectively. A short sound wavelength for instance, would result in a high pitch sound.
How are radio waves and light waves similar?
Except for their wavelength (frequency) and energy per quantum, they're identical.
What is the relation between the frequency wavelength and speed of a sound wave?
Speed = frequency x wavelengthThis is true for all waves, sound waves as well as electromagnetic waves.
The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the waves?
diffraction wavelength
