What are the wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?
The wavelength of a sound wave is defined as the distance between the identical parts of the wave also called crests and troughs. The wavelength of the sound wave is calculated as: Wavelength =velocity of sound/frequency Frequency is defined as the number of vibrations or oscillations per second i.e. it is the number of complete waves or cycles produced in one second. It refers to how rapidly or slowly the oscillations occur. Time period is the time taken to complete one vibration/oscillation/complete wave is called time period. It is measured in seconds. Amplitude is the utmost rearrangement of the particles of the medium from their actual static position.
