It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.


The frequency of a sound wave determines?

the pitch of the sound.


Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?

We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.


What factor determines the pith of a sound?

What is the pitch of a music note?

The pitch is the frequency of the sound waves and determines how high or low the note is.


What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?

Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".


Are higher freqeuncy sound waves louder?

No. They are higher pitched. Frequency determines pitch (the difference between the sound of a bass and a piccolo) but amplitude determines volume.


What factor determines the loudness of a sound?

Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?


What is is a measure of sound frequency that determines how high or low a pitch is?

Is it the speed or the size of the vibration that changes the pitch of a sound?

Neither. Speed of sound waves doesn't change unless there is a change in the medium (substance through which the wave moves). the size of the vibration determines how loud the sound is. the length of the vibration is what determines the pitch.
