Hypernyms (to revolve is one way to...): turn (move around an axis or a center) Troponyms (each of the following is one way to revolve): drive in; screw (cause to penetrate, as with a circular motion) screw (turn like a screw)
In air at normal atmosphere at 0 oC the speed of sound is 331.2 m/s. The wavelength of a 500 Hz tone can be calculated as. Î» = (331.2 m/s) / (500 Hz). = 0.662 m.
Since sound travels at 343 meters per second at standard temperature and pressure (STP), speed is a constant. Thus, frequency is determined by speed / wavelength. The longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch. The 'height' of the wave is its amplitude. The amplitude determines how loud a sound will be.
