they're the same thing really.

The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?
Frequency and amplitude.
How high or low you perceive a sound to be depending on the frequency of the sound wave is defined as the?
Pitch
What is another term for the frequency of a sound wave?
If you're talking "music", you could possible call it pitch. Each note (pitch) has a specific frequency.
The pitch of a sound wave is its?
Its' frequency.
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?
That's the wave's frequency.
The characteristic of a sound wave that you hear as pitch is the?
Frequency .
Does the pitch of sound depend on the frequency of the sound waves that produce it?
yes, the pitch of sound does, in fact, depend on the frequency of the sound wave.
Does a sound's pitch depend on its loudness?
No. A sound's pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
Is the perceived frequency of a sound wave?
Pitch
The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?
The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
What does the freqency of a sound wave affect?
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.
