 Questions
Amplitude and frequency at minimum and 0 positions

1. What is the sound that is heard?

There's no sound

2. What is observed in the graph?

A straight line in the y axis, where y is equal to zero.

 Now slide the frequency control to different positions.

3. What is the sound that is heard and that is observed in the graph?

No sound is emitted, and the graph maintains without movement

Return the frequency control to minimum and instead slide the amplitude control to different positions.

4. What is the sound that is heard and that is observed in the graph?

Now we can hear a sound that between the amplitude increase, its sound is more strong.
And the graph shows movement, the high of the waves increase between the amplitude
increases.
 Changing amplitude and frequency

5. What is the sound that is heard and that is observed from the graph?

When we change the value of the amplitude, the loudness of the sound changes: if we
decrease the value of the amplitude, the sound is softer. If we increase the amplitude, it
sounds louder. In the case of the graph, when we increase the amplitude, the crest is
higher, but if we decrease the amplitude, the crest is smaller.

On the other hand, when we change the value of frequency, the sound that we hear is
different. If the frequency is higher, it has a sharp sound, but if the frequency is lower, it
has a low-pitched sound. In the graph, we can observe that when we increase the
frequency, more waves are passing in a unit of time. If the frequency is lower, less waves
are passing in a period of time.

1. Wavelength versus frequency graph.

As we can observe, as the

values of frequency
increases, the values or the
size of the wavelength
decreases or in other
words, become shorter, and
for that reason we can say
that the relation of
frequency and wavelength
is inversely proportional.
 Period (s)
As we know, the frequency is inversely
proportional to the period so at the same
time it is inversely proportional to the
wavelength. In this case the graph
shows us that as the period increases,
Wavelenght (m)
the wavelength decreases, we consider
that the error range of the calculations
has not allowed us to reflect a totally
linear graph, however the data increases
with certain similarities.

 Conclusion
In this practice we saw more about sound waves and its characteristics. Talking about the relation
between the wavelength and the period is that if the wavelength is shorter, the period is also shorter,
as we can observe in the table; the period is directly proportional to the wavelength. But in the case of
the relation between wavelength and frequency, when the wavelength is greater, the frequency is
lower, it is inversely proportional. In the part of velocity of the wave we had some difficulties by
obtaining the results, but we could observe that it is affected by the wavelength and the period of the
wave. Analyzing the questions, the results show that if the amplitude increases, but not the
frequency, the loudness will be different, if the amplitude is minimum there is no sound even if the
frequency is maximum. When the amplitude is maximum but we change the frequency, the sound has
a different pitch, more frequency means a higher pitch.

As a conclusion we can say that the frequency is inversely proportional to the period and
wavelength, and the period is directly proportional to the wavelength; the velocity of a wave is
affected by the wavelength and the period, but it can also be affected by the frequency. The loudness
of a sound depends on the amplitude of a wave and the pitch of sound depends on the frequency of a
wave.
