Is pitch made up of sound waves?
Pitch is another name for the frequency of sound waves . . . that is, how close the waves are together. Pitch is a term usually used in terms of music.
This depends on the frequency of the sound waves?
it is the pitch
What is frequency applied to sound waves?
It sound of pitch
The pitch of a sound that you hear depends on the sound waves?
LOUDNESS
What is determined by sound waves frequency?
The sound that you hear.
Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
The pitch of sound depends on the sound's frequency. Frequency is basically the amount of waves the sound is producing. If there are many waves, "happen frequently", it is a high frequency. This is a high pitch. If the distance between the waves is large, it is a low frequency and a low pitch.
What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?
Pitch
What depends on the frequency of sound waves?
Pitch
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.
What is the difference from lower sound waves and higher sound waves?
Because the low note is short and the high note is hifh
What is the relation between the frequency wavelength and speed of a sound wave?
Speed = frequency x wavelengthThis is true for all waves, sound waves as well as electromagnetic waves.
What do drums have to do with physics?
The vibrations (sound) of a beaten drum are sound waves. The frequency, of the produced sound waves, is what determines the pitch of the drum.
