The frequency of a sound wave is the characteristic of the wave that gives rise to the sensation of pitch, assuming that the wave is not so complex that it is perceived as white 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.


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.


The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?

the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter


Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?

ultrasonic wave is sound frequency


The pitch of a sound wave is its?

Its' frequency.


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

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


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.


What is the sound of a wave?

The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.


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.


How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?

The frequency of a sound wave does not affect the speed at which the wave moves. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. However, frequency does impact the pitch of the sound we hear.


Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves are perceived as lower pitch sounds.


How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?

frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
