How does the frequency of a sound wave depend on the pressure of the air?

The speed of sound is not greatly affected by pressure in an ideal gas. Air is not an ideal gas, so there may be some small effect, but temperature and humidity will be much more influential.
================================
Answer #1:
The frequency of sound is completely determined by the source of the sound. Once the sound leaves the source, the frequency doesn't change.

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.
How are wave speed frequency and wave length related to the wave amplitude?
Frequency is the amount of bumps there are in the wave. The higher the frequency the lower the wave length and vise versa. some equations are E=hv C=vw h=Plancks Constant(6.626x10 to the -34) C=3.0x10 to the power of 8
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?
That's the wave's 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.
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.
Does a sound's pitch depend on its loudness?
No. A sound's pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
What is ultrasonic wave?
An ultrasonic wave is a sound pressure wave that has a very high frequency. The frequency is higher that what humans can hear.
What three things affect the frequency of a sound wave?
Velocity, temperature and pressure.
What does the amplitude of a compressional wave depend on?
Well, I take it you mean a wave in the air, like a sound wave (alternating compressions of air). Volume of a sound wave ( a type of compressional wave) is our perception of its amplitude, the amplitude is a measure in the intensity of the waves, or the amount of variation in air pressure. Our perception of pitch varies with the frequency, or how frequently the alternations in air pressure persist.
Which of these is associated with a sound's loudness?
Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. also sound wave amplitude
How are wave speed frequency and wave length related to the wave amplitude?
Frequency is the amount of bumps there are in the wave. The higher the frequency the lower the wave length and vise versa. some equations are E=hv C=vw h=Plancks Constant(6.626x10 to the -34) C=3.0x10 to the power of 8
The loudness of a sound is the wave?
The loudness of a sound wave is proportional to the amplitude of the wave, which is to say, the size of the vibration.
What are the properties of music?
- frequency of sounds - intensity of sounds - amplitude - sound pressure - wave number
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
