When you generate a high frequency sound, through earphones or a speaker,
you hear it as a high pitched sound. Higher frequency ==> higher pitch.
Higher-frequency sounds have shorter wavelengths, and sounds of all frequencies
have the same speed, as long as they're all moving through the same stuff.

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
Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?
It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.
The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?
The higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. Wavelength
What must change when a sound gets higher?
Wavelength, frequency, and pitch come to mind.
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter

How do frequency change the pitch of a sound?
Pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound. It is one of the three major auditory attributes of sounds along with loudness and timbre.
If a sorce of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person the sound heard by the person appears to have?
A frequency higher than the original frequency.
The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?
The higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. Wavelength
What must change when a sound gets higher?
Wavelength, frequency, and pitch come to mind.
Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?
Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
What is the relationship between the velocity frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The shorter the wavelength is, the higher the frequency will be and the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency will be.
How is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of electromagnetic energy?
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (higher frequency means a shorter wavelength). Frequency is directly proportional to the energy of the wave (higher frequencies correspond to higher energies).
The lower the frequency of a sound wave the?
For electromagnetic waves:Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)ORwavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.
