Pitch and frequency are simply different terms for the same thing and are directly proportional.

The difference is that pitch is the subjective human perception while frequency is an objectively measured quantity in units of Hz.

Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?

high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


Do low frequency sounds have a high pitch or a low pitch?

Low frequency = low pitch = long waves


Is high frequency sounds low pitch?

No, high pitch means high frequency.


Is lower pitch a low frequency or high frequency?

low


What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?

Low pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave, while high pitch refers to a higher frequency. Amplitude, on the other hand, is the magnitude or intensity of a sound wave. A sound with high amplitude will be louder than one with low amplitude.


What describes the highness and the lowness of the sound?

Pitch describes the highness and lowness of a sound. A high pitch sound has a high frequency, while a low pitch sound has a low frequency.


Explain high and low pitch frequency's?

The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the higher the pitch.


Does a low pitched note have a high frequency?

No, a low pitched note has a low frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with low frequency sounds corresponding to low pitched notes and high frequency sounds corresponding to high pitched notes.


What is the scientific name for how high or low a note is?

in music we call this "pitch" in science we call it "frequency"


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


Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?

No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
