Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
How is frequency related to amplitude?
Not at all. They are independent characteristics of a wave. If they were connected, then your wife could make herself sound like James Earl Jones, and you could make yourself sound like Lady Gaga, just by picking exactly the right loudness. Frequency is the pitch (high for short wavelengths, low for long wavelengths) Amplitude is the loudness, the energy of the sound.
What do light waves of greater frequency have?
The meaning of a high frequency wave is a shorter wavelength.For electromagnetic waves in general (including light):* At greater frequencies, you get shorter wavelengths.* At greater frequencies, you get more energy per photon.
Why does a high pitch noise have a greater frequency?
because the vibration is so fast your ears hurt low pitched sounds vibrate slowly and doesn't hurt
How are high-frequency sounds different from low-frequency?
Their wavelengths are shorter, and they are perceived as having higher pitch.
What are high frequency sounds?
A series of short length sound waves.
Is gamma ray and X-ray electromagnetic rays?
Yes. They are both high up in the electromagnetic spectrum, with short wavelengths and high frequency.
Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?
Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
Higher pitched sounds have shorter wavelengths?
A short wave length means high frequency (number of impulses per time unit is high) the compression in the medium which transmits the wave is greater therefore the medium becomes squeezed lateral to the direction of propagation of the wave. This later squeezing out of the wave is the amplitude of the wave which represents the wave pitch.
Low and high pitched sounds?
Low pitch = low frequency = long waves. High pitch = high frequency = short waves.
Does a higher frequency sound have a higher wavelength?
When you generate a high frequency sound, through earphones or a speaker,you hear it as a high pitched sound. Higher frequency ==> higher pitch.Higher-frequency sounds have shorter wavelengths, and sounds of all frequencieshave the same speed, as long as they're all moving through the same stuff.
Effect of high frequency sounds in birds?
effect of high frequency sounds
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?

A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
How does wavelength change when frequency is constant?
the wavelength changes when the frequency changes if the wavelengths are smaller and thinner then the frequency is high, when the frequency is slow then the wavelengths is larger and wider. if the frequency is constant then the wavelength is a normal size
What type of frequency has long wavelengths?
Easy, high pitch!
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
