The so-called pitch of the sound would change. A sound with a higher frequency is said to have a higher pitch.

For sound waves, when the frequency changes, we observe a change in the pitch of the sound.

How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?

With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.


How could you use beats to match one frequency to another frequency?

A sound known as a "beat frequency" will be heard when two sounds of almost (but not quite) the same frequency are mixed together. This is commonly heard when tuning a stringed instrument (such as a guitar) into itself, or when tuning to a standard pitch generator. If the string is vibrating at exactly the same frequency as the standard, then no beat frequency is heard. If the string is vibrating at a just slightly different frequency from the standard, then the interference between the two sounds is heard as a regular "beat". The frequency of the beat is exactly equal to the difference between the two frequencies i.e. if the standard is 440 Hz and the string is vibrating at 441 Hz, then a beat frequency of 1 Hz will be heard.


How are pitch and sound alike and how are they different?

Pitch is only a componet of any sound. It represents the frequency of the sound, normally expressed in hertz (number of waves in a second). Low frequeny sounds are bass, thunder, foghorns, etc. High frequency sounds are screeches, bird whistles, breaking glass, etc. People's voices are in between high and low (normally 400 to 1000 hertz). Other components of a sound are amplitude (how energetic or loud the sound is) and wave envelope (wave shape).


How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?

Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.


What are different colors of light differ in their?

Wavelength. You could also say frequency, since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

Explain how you could change the pitch and frequency of the sound of a guitar?

Loosening the string will LOWER the frequency, tightening it will RAISE the frequency.


Do low-frequency sounds travel through the air more slowly than high-frequency sounds?

If that were true, there could be no such thing as a band or orchestra ... Anybody who tried to get one going would find that the trumpet and piccolo sounds reached the ears of the audience before the tuba and drum sounds. Nobody would ever go back to hear another band, and the whole idea would fall apart. The speed of sound in air depends on the characteristics of the air, but not on the frequency of the sound.


When sound gets louder does it change it's speed in the air?

The frequency stays the same but the amplitude of the sound pressure goes up. That makes your ear drums more. In other words, change in amplitude causes a change in volume or loudness. Change in frequency cause a change in the pitch (high-low) of the sound, not the volume.


What is any observable response to a stimulus?

In the topic area of shopping, stimulus most likely refers to economic and socioeconomic stimulus. Observable refers to if there is a noticable change (due to socioeconomic stimulus). An example of an observable response would be if corporate management of a company were to add a new branch of such a company or its product line. On the other hand, if a company discontinued a branch or product line then one could observe the response to the lack of stimulus.

How do spiders react to loud sounds?

it's not so much as loud sounds, but high frequency, or high-pitched sounds.certain bp levels of sound can cause spiders to move in certain patterns, but if the bp level is too high,it could kill the spider.

What are power converters used for?

Power converters are used to change electrical energy from one form to another. It could be changing the voltage or frequency or it could be switching between AC and DC.


Why frequency is constant in a single phase transformer?

a transformer or inductor or capacitor does not change frequency frequency is controlled at the generating station with the speed of the motor or turbine the number of phases will not make a difference an inductor or capacitor can shift phase up to 90 degrees you can make 3 phase power from single phase power with inductors capacitors and transformers


How could you measure the ripple frequency?

With either a digital frequency meter or an oscilloscope.


Do outliers change anything in a histogram?

Yes. They could increase the width and thereby reduce the frequency densities (heights) of the one or both of the outermost classes.
