Best Answer

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.

The frequency of the vibrations. Sound frequencies are directly related to the perceived pitch.

How does the pitch of a sound affect its speed?

Pitch of sound in air does not affect the speed of sound.The speed of sound in air is also not affected by atmospheric pressure.Temperature does affect the speed of sound in air.Similar statements are not true for liquids or solids. It stops being true for gasses when pressure and temperature are near the point that the gas will liquify.

How does sound affect frequency?

The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.

What properties of waves affect the pitch and loudness of sound?

The frequency of a wave affects the pitch of sound, with higher frequencies producing higher pitched sounds. The amplitude of a wave affects the loudness of sound, with greater amplitudes producing louder sounds.
