no but the reason they can be heard so far away is because the sound waves travel much farther than higher pitch sound waves. Google image sound waves. since lower ones are flatter they can do this and they can penetrate through physical obstacles. for example whales communicate with low frequency sounds and thus they can talk to a fellow whale miles and miles away

What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?

Pitch


When vocal cords vibrate they produce?

Sound. Vibrating vocal cords produce sound. The speed at which they vibrate determines whether the sound is high pitched or low pitched.


When an object vibrates slowly what dose it produce?

When an object vibrates slowly, it produces low frequency sound waves. These waves have a lower pitch compared to fast vibrations.


What kind of sound a low amplitude produce?

Low amplitude sound waves produce quieter sounds that are less intense and have lower volume. They are typically perceived as softer and less powerful compared to high amplitude sounds.


How high or low a sound is perceived?

The perceived pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. High frequency waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while low frequency waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds. The brain interprets these frequencies based on the vibrations they produce in our ears.


Can sound waves travel faster through a low density gas?

No, sound waves travel faster in denser gases than in low-density gases. This is because sound speed is influenced by the medium's density and temperature; in general, higher density allows for more efficient transfer of sound energy. Therefore, sound waves typically travel more quickly in denser gases compared to their low-density counterparts.


What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves produce higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequency waves produce lower-pitched sounds. The pitch is perceived by the human ear based on how rapidly the sound wave vibrates.


The pitch you hear is related to the of a sound wave?

The pitch of a sound wave is directly related to its frequency. Higher frequency waves produce higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves produce lower pitch sounds. Pitch is essentially how high or low we perceive a sound to be.


The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?

The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.


The pitch of a sound is determined by its?

frequency. Sound waves with high frequencies are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while sound waves with low frequencies are perceived as low-pitched sounds.


Do low frequency sound waves have high pitches?

No. Low pitches.


How are earthquakes and sound waves similar?

Both involve mechanical waves. The P waves generated in earthquakes can actually be considered to be extremely low frequency sound waves.
