What are wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?

Open in App

Solution

1. Wavelength : The distance travelled by the wave during one complete oscillation is called wavelength of the wave.
2. Frequency : The number of oscillations made by the wave in one second is called the frequency of the wave.
3. Time period : The time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation is called the amplitude of the wave.
4. Amplitude : The maximum displacement of the wave from its mean or equilibrium position is called the amplitude of the wave.
