Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?

Low-pitched sounds have a lower frequency.


Does a train whistle get higher or lower when it gets closer?

Sounds get higher in pitch as they get closer, due to the sounds waves getting packed closer together. (Which IS higher-pitched) Sounds get lower in pitch as they go away, due to the sound waves being pulled farther apart than normal. (Which IS lower-pitched). This is called the Doppler effect, and works with light, also.


Higher pitched sounds have shorter wavelengths?

A short wave length means high frequency (number of impulses per time unit is high) the compression in the medium which transmits the wave is greater therefore the medium becomes squeezed lateral to the direction of propagation of the wave. This later squeezing out of the wave is the amplitude of the wave which represents the wave pitch.


What makes high pitched sounds?

Shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies makes high pitched sounds. Take a rubber band and cut part of it; hold it between your fingers and stretch it slightly; strum it. You will hear a low sound. Pull it tighter, and strum it. It moves faster, and the sound is higher. Low frequencies sounds low. Thus the slower movement of the rubber band. Higher frequencies are faster. ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v <--High frequency ^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^- <-- lower frequency The "frequency" is talking about how frequent, or often, the waves are. The more waves in a space, the faster, and thus, higher the sound will be.

There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."

What is the relative highness lowness or sameness of sound?

The relative highness or lowness of sound is referred to as pitch. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher-pitched, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower-pitched. Sounds with the same frequency are perceived as having the same pitch.

Why is it sound?

Vibrations are perceived by the human ear as sound. Faster vibrations produce higher-pitched sounds, while slower vibrations sound lower-pitched.

How do you think the strings that produce the low pichted sounds differ from the strings that produce the high piched sounds?

The lower pitched strings are larger and slightly looser than those of a higher pitch.


Which is better a lower whip or a higher whip in baseball?

A lower one because whip is walks + hits / innings pitched. so the less the walks and hits the lower the whip.


Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?

Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths


Which of these statements is falseA lower-pitched sound is produced when the vocal cords are relaxed.A lower-pitched sound has a higher frequency than a high-pitched sound.Stretching the vocal cords produces a high-pitched sound?

A lower-pitched sound has a higher frequency than a high-pitched sound.


What key is used for the flute?

The answer depends on the type of flute you're using! A standard flute is pitched in the key of C, and the same goes for the piccolo (pitched in C, but sounds an octave higher) and the bass flute (in the key of C but sounds an octave lower). The soprano flute is pitched in the key of Eb. The alto and treble flute are both in the key of G. The tenor flute is in the key of Bb.
