Answer:
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, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.
There are five main characteristics of sound waves: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, time period, and velocity.
These determine the characteristics of the sound produced.
Frequency: The number of vibrations made by the vibrating body in one second is known as its frequency. ...
Amplitude: ...
Time period: ...
Loudness: ...
Pitch: ...
