What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?
Pitch
How do vibration change the pitch of sound?
The sensation of a frequency 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 ability of humans to perceive pitch is associated with the frequency of the sound wave that impinges upon the ear. Because sound waves traveling through air are longitudinal waves that produce high- and low-pressure disturbances of the particles of the air at a given frequency, the ear has an ability to detect such frequencies and associate them with the pitch of the sound.
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
When does the pitch of sound change?
When the frequency of the vibrations that produce the sound change. Higher frequencies -> higher pitch. OR if the source of the sound is moving towards or away from you -> Doppler effect.
Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
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.
What does a pitch of sound depend on?
Frequency
Does a sound's pitch depend on its loudness?
No. A sound's pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?
Pitch
What sound wave does pitch depend on?
The frequency of the wave.f.

What does the pitch of a sound wave depend on?
Timbre of the sound. It is related to the frequency of the fundamental frequency and a combination of overtones.
Why A mosquito is said to produce a sound of high pitch why?
The high frequency of its wing beats.
Why a mosquito is said to produce sound of high pitch?
The high frequency of its wing beats.
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
How does human produce loud sounds?
By vibration of vocal chords.. High frequency of vibration/low pitch = sweet sound Low frequency of vibration/high pitch = harsh sound High amplitude = loud sound
When does the pitch of sound change?
When the frequency of the vibrations that produce the sound change. Higher frequencies -> higher pitch. OR if the source of the sound is moving towards or away from you -> Doppler effect.
How are frequency and sound related?
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of a sound. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound. On a piano, the pitch A4 (A above "middle C") will produce a soundwave with a frequency of 440 Hz. The pitch A3 (A an octave below A4) will have a frequency of 220 Hz. The frequency of A5 (A an octave above A4) is 880Hz. "Midde C," or C4, has a frequency of approximately 262 Hz.
