What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What if the molecules from a sound wave are compressed?
Nothing. That IS how a sound wave is propagated.
Is a sound wave continuous?
A sound wave is continuous for as long as the sound vibrations are being made at its source.
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
How do you raise the pitch of the sound caused by a sound wave?
increase the freguency of the wave
Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?
That's the wave's frequency.
Does a sound's pitch depend on its loudness?
No. A sound's pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
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 dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
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.
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
Are loudness and pitch properties of sound or property of waves?
Loudness and pitch are properties of sound which can be determined by looking at the sound wave. You have a high pitch when the frequency of the wave increases or the wavelenght (lambda) decreases. When the amplitude increases the loudness of the wave increases as well.
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
Is the perceived frequency of a sound wave?
Pitch
