Does a train whistle get higher or lower when it gets closer?
Sounds get higher in pitch as they get closer, due to the sounds waves getting packed closer together. (Which IS higher-pitched) Sounds get lower in pitch as they go away, due to the sound waves being pulled farther apart than normal. (Which IS lower-pitched). This is called the Doppler effect, and works with light, also.
If A fire truck siren sounds higher in pitch as it approaches and and lower in pitch as it moves away. What is the name of the phenomenon?
Doppler effect.
Does green have a higher or lower freqenuency?
higher or lower than what?
The higher an electromagnetic wave frequency the lower its?
The higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. Wavelength
Why are some sounds higher pitch than others?
because the pitch is higher
Can dogs detect higher and lower sounds than humans?

What is the relative highness lowness or sameness of sound?
The relative highness or lowness of sound is referred to as pitch. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher-pitched, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower-pitched. Sounds with the same frequency are perceived as having the same pitch.
Do Thick strings make higher or lower sounds?
The Thick Tring Makes Lower sound by the Vibration, That goes Slower.
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
What is the difference between Common kingfisher male and female sounds?
One is higher one is lower different pitches
Should you get a snare drum or drum set?
It depends on what you want. A snare drum produces higher and lower sounds, if that's all you want, and a drum set comes with a snare drum, and a base drum (lower sounds only), and another drum that has higher sounds only (sorry, i don't know the name). Also a drum set comes with cymbals.
Why do lower frequency sounds reach the end of the inner ear which is called the apex and higher frequencies don't?
they have longer wavelength
What is the pitch tone?
Pitch tone refers to the perceived frequency of a sound. It is how high or low a sound is perceived to be by the human ear. Sounds with higher frequencies are perceived as higher in pitch, while sounds with lower frequencies are perceived as lower in pitch.
