Other way. "Frequency" tells you how "frequently" something is happening.

If it's happening more frequently, then it has higher frequency.

How does the alphorn make a low sound?

It's a large horn therefore it makes a low pitched sound; large objects do not vibrate as rapidly as smaller objects do.


How are Sound produced?

Sounds are nothing more than disruptions in the air. They can happen with varying degrees of intensity (amplitude) and frequency (frequency). Amplitude correlates with loudness, and frequency correlates with pitch (how high or low the sounds are). Sound waves can also vary in complexity, giving rise to a given sound's timbre. Sound can be transmitted by materials other than air.Sounds are produced when objects vibrate. As they vibrate, particles of air are pushed together in a particular pattern. this pattern is a sound wave. Sound energy travels in compressional waves. In this, matter vibrates in the same direction as the energy travels through it.


How do you get different pitches?

By changing the frequency of the vibration. High frequency = high pitch. Low frequency = low pitch.


What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?

Low frequency = low pitch = long waves


What is the difference between pitch and sound?

Sound is a form of energy which enables us to hear.It travels in the form of Longitudinal waves.Longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium through which the sound travels vibrate back and forth in the same direction. But on the other hand , Pitch is that charecteristic of sound by which we can distingiush between different sounds of the same loudness.The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of vibration.It is directly proportional to its frequency.Sounds with low frequency have low pitch and sounds with high frequency have high pitch.Number of vibrations per second is called frequency.

Why can you see objects in different colours?

It all depends on the frequency of a wavelenght for example red is a low frequency and violet is a high frequency


Why does your E string on your guitar vibrate so much when you play a powerchord?

The vibrations are what makes the sound. The higher strings vibrate very quickly so it is difficult to see, but the low pitch of the low E string means that you can see it vibrating.


Why does a high pitch noise have a greater frequency?

because the vibration is so fast your ears hurt low pitched sounds vibrate slowly and doesn't hurt


What is the cause of Hum in AC Capacitors?

Hum is caused in (low frequency) AC capacitors by electrostatic forces between the capacitor's plates, causing them to vibrate.


If you make a musical instrument shortter will it have a high or low frequency?

That would surely depend on the specific instrument, and the way it produces its sound. Two examples:A shorter string will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.Similarly, the air in a shorter tube will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.


Why objects become dry quickly on mountains?

Due to the altitude (low air pressure), and Low humidity, liquid moisture will become water vapor very quickly on top of a mountain.


What will the pitch be if the frequency is low?

Low frequency = low pitch = long waves


How are coins found using a metal detector?

Coins are found by the detector sending a pulse which picks up metal signals. Now there are two types a low frequency and a pulse indicator, the low frequency is used to pick up deeper objects


Is lower pitch a low frequency or high frequency?

low


Smaller objects have higher pitch than larger objects?

Usually that higher the mass of an object, the lower the resonant frequency the object will be. Example: Dropping a heavy chunk of iron will make a low frequency sound (thud or boom) and dropping a small scrap of sheet metal will make a high frequency sound (ping).
