The graph of l (wavelength) versus 1/f (frequency) is used to visually represent the relationship between these two variables in a sound wave. It helps to illustrate how the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave are inversely proportional to each other.
The slope of the graph represents the speed of sound. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed of sound, while a flatter slope indicates a lower speed of sound. This is because the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, so a higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength and vice versa.
The intersection point of the graph with the y-axis represents the wavelength of a sound wave when its frequency is zero. This is known as the fundamental wavelength and is the longest wavelength that a sound wave can have.
If the speed of sound changes, the slope of the graph will also change. This is because the speed of sound is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely proportional to the wavelength. So, a change in speed will result in a change in both the frequency and wavelength, altering the overall shape of the graph.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. By looking at the graph, the frequency can be estimated by finding the point on the x-axis that corresponds to the given wavelength. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch of the sound will be.
