A tone that is higher in pitch is higher in what?

Higher in frequency.


What is a sound that is produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones called?

A sound of a single frequency (fundamental tone) with no overtones is a pure sine wave. It sounds cold and colorless like an audio signal generator or test tone generator


A fundamental tone has only one?

frequency


A sound that is produced by a single wave at a constant frequency and with no overtones is called?

It is called a sine wave or sinusoid. A musician might also call it a "pure tone", although few if any acoustic musical instruments produce such tones. There are few purely natural systems that would produce a perfect sine wave. A very well engineered tuning fork comes very close. Most natural objects that produce sound will consist of a fundamental tone and a series of harmonics (overtones) some of which may add color to the tone, and some of which may be inaudible. The fundamental tone and the harmonics are each examples of sinusoids, but may be imperfect given the inherent imperfections of the object that is vibrating.


What affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?

The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be and the frequency (cycles per second) of the oscillation tells how high the sound of the tone will be. The amplitude gives the loudness of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness The frequency gives the pitch of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28music%29

The Taurus' and larger Fords have a traditional "two-tone" horn - a higher frequency tone combined with a harmonic lower frequency tone. I believe the smaller vehicles have only a single tone horn (might be why they sound rather wimpy)

What is the meaning of deep tone?

A deep tone usually refers to a low pitch or frequency in sound. It can convey a sense of richness, warmth, and resonance. Deep tones are often associated with heaviness or seriousness in music or voice.
