The pattern of disruption brought on by energy moving away from the sound source is known as a sound wave.
Properties of sound waves:
Here are the five characteristics of sound waves:
Wavelength:
The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called wavelength. Wavelength is denoted by “”.Amplitude:
The amplitude of the sound is the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in a sound wave. The amplitude is also a measure of energy.Time period:
The time taken to complete one vibration is known as time-period is called as Time-period. A time period is denoted by “T”.The S.I unit is “sec”.Frequency of sound:
The number of rarefactions and compressions that occur per unit of time is known as frequency.It is denoted by “f”.Speed of sound:
The speed at which sound waves propagate through a medium is known as the speed of sound.It is denoted by “c”.
