Wavelength is defined as the distance between two crests of a wave, so in a sound wave, is the wavelength the distance between two compressions.
A sound wave is a type of mechanical wave that carries energy through the compression and rarefaction of particles in a medium, such as air or water. It is created by a vibrating object and travels outward in all directions.
Sound travels through a medium by causing particles to vibrate and transfer energy to neighboring particles. These vibrations create a series of compressions and rarefactions that move through the medium, allowing sound to travel from its source to the receiver's ears.
Pitch is a measure of how high or low a sound is, based on the frequency of the sound wave. Loudness, on the other hand, is a measure of how intense or soft a sound is, based on the amplitude of the sound wave. Pitch is perceived as a musical tone, while loudness is perceived as volume.
The speed of sound is affected by the density, elasticity, and temperature of the medium it travels through. In general, sound travels faster in denser, more elastic materials, and at higher temperatures.
Sound is measured in decibels (dB), which is a logarithmic scale representing the intensity of sound. The threshold of human hearing is 0 dB, while sounds above 120 dB are considered painful and can cause damage to the ears. A sound level meter is used to measure the decibel level of a sound.
