Question
What are the wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?
Solution
Wavelength(λ): Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a sound wave.
Frequency(v): Frequency is the number of complete oscillations per unit time.
Time period(T): The time taken by two consecutive compressions or rarefactions to cross a fixed point is called the time period of the sound wave.
Amplitude(A): The magnitude of the maximum disturbance in the medium on either side of the mean value is called the amplitude of the wave.
