No. They are both waves it depends solely on the medium they are travelling through. Only different types of waves travel longer or shorter distances (uv further than sound etc) :)

WHAT frequency sounds are detectable at longer ranges in seawater?

Low frequency sounds (20-1,000 Hz) can travel long distances in seawater due to their ability to penetrate further and experience less attenuation compared to higher frequency sounds. This makes them detectable over greater distances in the ocean.


What are some examples of high frequency and low frequency sounds?

High frequency sounds include a whistle, a bird chirping, or a ringing phone. Low frequency sounds include thunder, a bass guitar, or a large drum.


What sort of frequency do high-pitched sounds have?

High-pitched sounds have a higher frequency compared to low-pitched sounds.


Does a low pitched note have a high frequency?

No, a low pitched note has a low frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with low frequency sounds corresponding to low pitched notes and high frequency sounds corresponding to high pitched notes.


What does a pitch of sound depend on?

The pitch of sound depends on the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency waves result in higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves result in lower pitch sounds.


Where are low frequency sounds detected in the ear?

Low frequency sounds are detected in the ear by the hair cells located in the cochlea, specifically in the apex or helicotrema region. These hair cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve.


Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?

FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off


What is the fundamental frequency of aperiodic sounds?

The fundamental frequency of aperiodic sounds is not well-defined, as aperiodic sounds do not have a repeating pattern of vibrations like periodic sounds do.


What factor deter mine's the pitch of a sound?

The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. Higher frequency sounds have higher pitch, while lower frequency sounds have lower pitch.


Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?

The wavelengths of high frequency sounds are short. This is because high frequency sounds have more cycles per second, resulting in shorter distances between peaks in the sound wave.


Is high frequency sounds low pitch?

No, high pitch means high frequency.
