Characteristics of a Sound Wave (Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength)Quiz - Solve & Score

  1. Q1. While a sound engineer listens, a loudspeaker emits a note of frequency 250 Hz whose wavelength measures 1.32 m; what is the speed of the sound?

    • A.189.3939 m/s
    • B.0.0053 m/s
    • C.330 m/s
    • D.251.32 m/s

    Answer: C. 330 m/s

    Wave speed = frequency * wavelength = 250 Hz * 1.32 m = 330 m/s. The speed of a sound wave equals how many waves pass per second times the length of each wave.

  2. Q2. From a buzzer a tone of frequency 340 Hz spreads out with a wavelength of 1 m; at what speed does it propagate?

    • A.341 m/s
    • B.0.0029 m/s
    • C.339 m/s
    • D.340 m/s

    Answer: D. 340 m/s

    Wave speed = frequency * wavelength = 340 Hz * 1 m = 340 m/s. The speed of a sound wave equals how many waves pass per second times the length of each wave.

  3. Q3. Out in the open a bell produces sound at 425 Hz with a wavelength of 0.8 m; what speed does the wave have?

    • A.425.8 m/s
    • B.340 m/s
    • C.0.0019 m/s
    • D.531.25 m/s

    Answer: B. 340 m/s

    Wave speed = frequency * wavelength = 425 Hz * 0.8 m = 340 m/s. The speed of a sound wave equals how many waves pass per second times the length of each wave.
