Question

CClassify each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity:

Loudness:

Frequency:

Pitch:

Answer 1

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness : loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.

Answer 2

Explanation :

The characteristics of sound waves are as follows :

(1) Intensity : The power per unit area carried by a sound wave is called as the intensity of wave. So,
`I=(P)/(A)`. Its unit is
`W/m^2`.

(2) Loudness : Loudness means how the listener perceives the sound intensity. It is determined by the intensity of sound waves.

(3) Frequency : The number of to and fro oscillations of sound wave per unit time is called as its frequency. Its unit is Hz or Hertz.

(4) Pitch : Pitch means the quality of sound. It is closely related to frequency. For high pitch, the number of waves are more.
