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.


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.


A sound wave has compressions that are very close to each other What is true about this sound wave?

The frequency of this sound wave is very near constant.


Which relation is there between wavelength and height?

There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.


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.


Is an echo a high or low frequency sound?

An echo can be either a high or low frequency sound, depending on the original sound that it reflects. The frequency of an echo is typically the same as the frequency of the original sound wave.


The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?

The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.


Is a high-frequency sound higher or lower in pitch?

A high-frequency sound is higher in pitch. Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


How high or low you perceive a sound to be depending on the frequency of the sound wave is defined as the?

Pitch


The frequency of sound wave determines what?

The rate at which the sound source is vibrating :) --> novanet answer


What is the relationship between wavelength frequency and velocity of sound in air?

The wavelength of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, meaning higher frequency sound waves have shorter wavelengths. The speed of sound in air is constant at around 343 meters per second, regardless of the frequency of the sound wave. This means that as the frequency of a sound wave increases, its wavelength decreases, but the speed of sound in air remains the same.


What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
