Characteristics of Sound: Sound travels in the form of a wave. Waves are characterized by three basic quantities. They are frequency, speed, and amplitude. Two of the main characteristics of sound are pitch and loudness, which in turn are determined by the frequency and amplitude of the wave, respectively. Therefore, to understand what pitch and loudness mean, we will first need to study the characteristics of waves.
Amplitude: The maximum displacement of the bob from the mean position during oscillation is called the amplitude of the oscillation. The maximum displacement occurs when the bob is at positions B and C. The position where it comes to stop is called mean position.
Time period: When the bob moves from one position and comes back to the same position (moving in the same direction), it is said to complete one oscillation. The time taken to complete one oscillation is called the time period of the oscillation. It is measured in seconds.
Frequency: The number of oscillations per second is called the frequency of oscillation. Faster the vibration of the source, higher is the frequency and higher is the pitch. A pitch sound is called a shrill sound. A low pitch sound is called a hoarse sound. The, SI unit of frquency is hertz .One hertz is the same as one cycle oer second.
We can say that
Wave speed : Wave speed can be defined as the distance covered by a wave in one second.
Therefore,
Relation between wavelength, frequency and wave speed
The region of high density corresponds to compressions, and the region of the low density correspond to rarefraction. At time A is the one of the place where compression is maximum.As time passes, this maximum compression shifts in the direction of propagation of the wave. At time it reaches C.
Now, the distance AC = distance between consecutive maximum compressions = wavelength
Also, the time = time period, T.
So, the sound wave moves a distance in time T. Thus, the wave speed is
Here, V denotes wave speed , denotes wavelength and T denotes time taken
As frequency connecting V and in terms of the frequency v
V = v
or, wave speed = frequency wavelength
It hold true for any periodic wave, both for transverse or longitudinal waves.

My experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Third consective year,my ward is in Abhyas with nice experience of admin and transport support.Educational standard of the institute recumbent at satisfactory level. One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...
Abhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
