How do you distinguish between sound wave of different frequencies?

Lower frequency means lower "pitch". Higher frequency means higher "pitch".
The left end of the piano keyboard, the thicker guitar strings, the tuba, the voice of a lion, distant thunder, are all low frequencies.
The right end of the keyboard, the thinner guitar strings, the Flute, the voice of a kitten or mouse, are all high frequencies.
Frequency has nothing to do with how loud the sound is, only how high or low its pitch is.

Two sound waves of the same frequency can interfere with each other but two sound waves must have different frequencies in order to make beats. Why?
To alternate between constructive and destructive interference requires different frequencies.
What causes different piches in sound?
Different pitches of sound are caused by intensity, pitch, and tone. Intensity is the amount of energy a sound has over an area. This means the same sound is more intense if you hear it in a smaller area. In general, sounds with a higher intensity are louder. Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave - high sounds have high frequencies and low sounds have low frequencies. The quality of the sound depends entirely on the combination of different frequencies of sound waves.
What are two sound waves with the same frequencies and different amplitudes?
Same pitch but with different loudness
What different between ultrasonic wave and supersonic wave?
Ultrasonic refers to frequencies greater than those that can be heard (usually frequencies above 20 kHz). Supersonic refers to velocities faster than the speed of sound (in the medium under consideration).
What is the sound waves of frequencies above 20 k hz is called?
Frequencies above 20kHz are not audible to humans. Sounds above this frequency are called ultrasound.
Can different sounds be produced by sound waves with the same frequencies?
No. The frequencies determine the sound.

What result from wavelengths and frequencies of light and sound?
Different wavelengths and frequencies of light are interpreted as different colours; those of sound are interpreted as pitch.

Are there waves of light and sound?
Yes. Sound waves have different frequencies which cause them to be louder/softer/higher/lower.Light waves have different frequencies too. The shorter the distance between the wavelenghts the darker the color. White light (the normal light the sun gives) is all of the colors together
Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?
no
How is sound transimitted?
Sound is the compression of molecules and atoms in waves which can have different frequencies amplitudes and wavelengths that determine how we interpret the sound.
How do sound different from each other?
Sounds differ by amplitude, frequency and number of frequencies contained in a sound.

Same pitch but with different loudness

How is color related to music?
Each are measured in scales of frequencies. There are colors that cannot be seen, and sounds that cannot be heard, because of their high or low frequency. A "color organ" flashes different colors of light, in response to different frequencies of sound, but the relationship between the two is set arbitrarily.
What the difference between sound nd noise?
No difference, noise is a sound too. Sound includes everything that produces sound waves. Noise is considered a mixture of many different sound frequencies at high decibel levels. (Noise is also a term used in electronics and electronic equipment)
