The amplitude and frequency of a sound wave can be examined using a microphone and oscilloscope. By measuring the speed of sound we can apply the wave equation to determine its wavelength.

Sound waves usually travel out in all directions from the source of sound, with an amplitude that depends on the direction and distance from the source. As the sound wave travels through the medium, ...

Understand how to identify amplitude and frequency of waves and features of transverse and longitudinal waves with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

Longitudinal waves are also known as compression waves, and that’s what sound waves are. There’s no perpendicular motion to these, rather, the wave moves in the same direction as the disturbance.

This project uses a servo motor and small slinky to demonstrate what a longitudinal wave looks like. Additionally it shows the crests and troughs of that longitudinal wave. It can also be utilized to ...

Sound is a longitudinal wave which consists of compressions and rarefactions travelling through a medium. Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period ...

Mechanical and electromagnetic waves, transverse and longitudinal waves, pulses and continuous waves are compared. Frequency, wavelength, period, and amplitude of waves are studied.

In an effort to investigate the cumulative seismic damage in reinforced concrete bridge piers, the authors first examined the response of model bridge columns to constant amplitude and random cyclic ...

The first set of waves to be detected by seismographs are P waves, or primary waves, as they’re the fastest. They’re compressional or longitudinal waves that push and pull the ground in the direction ...
