What does the frequency of sound measure?
The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
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.
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 sound frequency change?
the frequency of a sound can change depending on how fast the source is vibrating
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.
Which kinds of sound waves can be produced by bats?
Bats produce high frequency (also known as ultrasonic) sound waves, which they use as a type of sonar, to locate insects in the air.
A Doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves?
The "change in sound" refers to a change in frequency. If (for example) you move compared to the sound source, then more, or less, wave crests may pass you every second, depending in which direction you move. It's best to check an article on the Doppler effect (for example, in the Wikipedia); with an illustration or animation, it is actually quite intuitive why this happens.
What sound does a killer whale make?
well the sound that it makes is kind like a crying sound, or mostly like a whistle!
Which characteristic of sound depends upon frequency?
frequency is the pitch of a sound
What does the frequency of sound measure?
The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.
How does sound affect frequency?
The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
In a presentation discussing dolphin speech what sound files would be the most helpful?
A sound file with each type of dolphin "speech" being discussed
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.
What is the sound of a dolphin?
a clicking noise
The pitch of a sound wave is its?
Its' frequency.
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.
