The rate, cycles per second, for any repeating process (including waves) is called its frequency. The basic unit is the Hertz, meaning, how many cycles per second there are.

What depends on how fast the source of the sound is vibrating?

The pitch of the sound is determined by the frequency of the vibrations produced by the sound source. A faster vibration rate produces a higher pitch sound, while a slower vibration rate produces a lower pitch sound.

The sound waves of irregular vibration in matter is called noise.


What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?

The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.


What happens to a sound when its rate of vibration decreases?

What is a sound of uniform vibration called?

A sound of uniform vibration is called a tone. It is characterized by having a consistent frequency and amplitude, resulting in a steady pitch and volume.


What characteristic of sound is determined by frequency?

Pitch of the sound is determined by frequency. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.


What is the difference between pitch and vibration?

The term vibration can be used to described a repetitive motion of something like, say, the string of a musical instrument. A string could be said to vibrate at a certain rate. The vibration creates sound at a given number of cycles per second (the rate or frequency of vibration), and this gives the vibration a certain pitch or note.
