Along with amplitude, being one of the key measurements of sound, the frequency of a sound wave affects the perceived pitch of the sound. As the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher.

If the pitch of the sound coming out from q speaker increases which is true about the sound wave?

If the pitch of the sound increases, the frequency of the sound wave also increases. This means that the sound wave is oscillating at a faster rate, creating a higher pitch.


The amplitude of a sound wave increases. What happens to the sound?

If the amplitude of a sound wave increases, the sound will become louder. This is because amplitude directly correlates with the intensity or volume of the sound.


What characteristic of a sound wave increases when the pitch of a musical note rises?

The frequency of a sound wave increases when the pitch of a musical note rises.


What happens to the loudness if the amplitude increases?

If the amplitude of a sound wave increases, the loudness or volume of the sound also increases. This is because amplitude is directly related to the intensity of the sound wave, which our ears perceive as loudness.


Are loudness and pitch properties of sound or property of waves?

Loudness and pitch are properties of sound which can be determined by looking at the sound wave. You have a high pitch when the frequency of the wave increases or the wavelenght (lambda) decreases. When the amplitude increases the loudness of the wave increases as well.


What rises and falls in sound intensity?

The amplitude of a sound wave rises and falls to create variations in sound intensity. As the sound intensity increases, the amplitude of the sound wave increases, resulting in a louder sound. Conversely, as the sound intensity decreases, the amplitude of the sound wave decreases, resulting in a quieter sound.


What would happen to a sound wave if the energy increased?

It becomes louder. The amplitude of the sound wave increases


In general as the energy of a sound wave increases?

the sound gets louder


Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


If the amplitude of a wave is increased then the energy that a wave carries what?

If the amplitude of a wave is increased, the energy that the wave carries also increases. Amplitude is directly proportional to energy in a wave, so as the amplitude grows, the energy of the wave increases.


What wave property increases at the number of vibrations producing the wave increase?

The frequency of the wave increases as the number of vibrations producing the wave increases. Frequency is the number of vibrations per second, and as it increases, so does the pitch of the sound or the energy of the light wave.


What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".
