The pitch of a sound is the frequency, how many oscillations happen per second.
In the case of a musical instrument, there may be many frequencies that happen all together. The pitch, is the fundamental frequency, the one that stands out among many.
Amplitude is effectively the volume, how loud a note is. It is, by how much the air is moved, as opposed to how often.

∙ 13y agoNo. Pitch is the human perception of the sound wave's frequency, not its amplitude.
If pitch depended on amplitude, your girl-friend's voice would get lower and lower as she walked
away from you, and the key of the song would change when you adjust the volume on your iPod.
How weird is that !

Higher pitch means higher frequency, shorter wavelength. Higher amplitude means stronger signal.

What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
Why the amplitude doesn't depend on frequency and time period?
Amplitude is how loud sound is and does not change a sounds pitch. They are independent.
What are the two elements of sounds?
Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender
Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?
Frequency and amplitude.
What affects the pitch of the sound?
The pitch of sound is affected by all of these things.The amplitude,the frequency, and the loudness. The pitch of sound is also affected by the length and width of the vessel producing the sound, e.g. pipes.
Is the amplitude of a sound wave determined by the sounds pitch?
yes because amplitude is based an the pitch of the sound
What is the difference between loudness and pitch of sound?
Amplitude versus frequencyLoudness is a function of the sound wave's amplitude of the sound pressure. Aour ear drums are moved by the sound pressure.The greater the amplitude, the greater the volume. Pitch is related to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.Loudness = amplitude of the sound pressureSoftest soundLoudest soundPitch = frequencyLowest pitchHighest pitch
What do the amplitude and frequency of a sound wave represent?
Amplitude: 'loudness'Frequency: 'pitch'
What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
Pitch is to frequency of sound as loudness is to?
Amplitude/Intensity
What detemines the pitch of a sound wave?
low amplitude
Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.
What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves
Dose the pitch of a sound coincide with frequency or amplitude?
Frequency.
What does the amplitude of a wave depend on?
In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.
Does the pitch of sound depend on the frequency of the sound waves that produce it?
yes, the pitch of sound does, in fact, depend on the frequency of the sound wave.
Why the amplitude doesn't depend on frequency and time period?
Amplitude is how loud sound is and does not change a sounds pitch. They are independent.
