The Auschwitz concentration camp complex was the largest of its kind established by the Nazi regime. It included three main camps. All three camps used prisoners for forced labor. One of them also functioned for an extended period as a killing center. The camps were located approximately 37 miles west of Krakow.
The frequency of a sound wave determines what people hear as pitch. A higher frequency has a higher pitch, and a lower frequency is heard as a lower pitch. The frequencies that humans can hear range from 20 to 20,000 Hertz. Continue Reading.
An introduction to the nature of sound-frequency, wavelength and octaves. f = 1 / T (1) where f = frequency (s-1, Hz) T = time for completing one cycle (s). T = 1 / (500 Hz) = 0.002 s. Î» = c / f (2) where Î» = wavelength (m) c = speed of sound (m/s) f = frequency (s-1, Hz). Î» = (331.2 m/s) / (500 Hz) = 0.662 m. Sound energy is transmitted through air (or other particles) as a traveling pressure wave. In air the displacement wave amplitude may range from 10-7 mm to a few mm per second.
