How fast does sound travel in liquid at 25°C? 2439m/s
How fast does sound travel in Iron? 5130m/s
Why does sound travel faster in a solid? Sound travels faster in a solid than through gas, because the particles in the solid are spaced much more closely.
What is a pitch? Pitch of a sound depends upon how quickly the particles vibrate, the higher the pitch of the sound.
What is frequency? The number of waves that travel past a given point per second is called the frequency.
What is a wavelength? A high-pitched s=ound has a higher frequency than a low deep-pitched sound has a higher frequency than a low, deep pitched-sound.
What is frequency measured in? Hertz (Hz)
