Why are some sounds higher pitch than others?
because the pitch is higher
Why do some sounds last longer than others?
it has to do with distance temp. and wave lengths
Explain how amplitude and pitch affect changes in waves?
In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.
Differences among sounds of the same pitch and loudness?
Different instruments having the same pitch will sound different because of overtones or harmonics, these are multiples of the fundamental pitch. A note plus its 2X harmonic and its 4X harmonic will sound different to the same note plus its 3X harmonic. This is called colouration.
What is wave and sound?
SOUND - CRASH! BANG! Did you hear that sound? It was made by air vibrating. The same is true for sounds made by musical instruments. The difference between NOISE and MUSIC is that musical sounds are organized into patterns that have pitch and rhythm. Noise is just random, disorganized sounds. Sounds are made and travel in the same way whether they are musical sounds or noise.A musical sound is called a tone, and is produced by air vibrating a certain number of times per second. These vibrations are called waves. These sound waves must be contained in some way so that the performer can control the loudness, quality of the tone, and how long it plays. Most musical instruments have a reed, a string, or some other device that creates sound waves when moved. Sounds are different because of harmonics, which are higher and quieter sounds mixed in. They are not heard separately, but add to the tone of the sound, making an oboe sound different from a trumpet or drum.The number of times that a sound wave vibrates in a second is called its frequency. Scientists even have a name for how they measure the frequency of sounds. They measure it in cycles and call it hertz. High notes have a higher frequency than lower notes and this changes their shape. Different types of sound waves have different shapes. Look at these images to see what sound waves "look" like.
Why are some sounds higher pitch than others?
because the pitch is higher
Why do some sounds have a low pitch while others have a high pitch?
Since our ears recognize any type of pitch as a vibration the more vibration the higher the pitch less vibration lower the pitch.
On a stringed instrument why are some sounds higher than others?
som strings are thinner and some are fat
How do some sounds have a low pitch and others have a high pitch?
some pitches are lower than others because of the friction of your vocal cords rubbing together in different ways hope this helps you X)
Why do some mountains have snow and others not?
because some are higher than others
Why is some top hats higher than others?
Some top hats are higher than the others because of the different designs employed.
What will make a parakeet whistle?
Parakeets imitate sounds around them. Some take longer than others to pickup regular sounds whist others dont
Do high pitched sounds damage hearing?
it depends on how loud the pitch is some pitches are not harmful but they are so high we can hear them i think these type of sounds at a pitch very high are called infrared sound?
Why are cyberbullies hurting other kids?
Because they want to make themself feel higher, or better than others, and can only get that feelling by criticizing, and putting down others, yes i know it sounds lame, but for some weird people it's like that
How do dogs whistle sound to humans?
You will not always hear from me what you want to hear, but you will get the answer straight from the heart, remember "Mother nature knows best" animals are not our playthings and should be allowed to live as natural a life as possible. They are not a commodity, accoutrement or accessory to your life style. Not everybody's hearing is the same, some people hear slightly higher tone than others some lower, some have good pitch some have perfect pitch while others are deaf. Asking what a dog whistle sounds like to humans is like asking a person what chicken tastes like. There is only one way to find out purchase one get someone else to blow it and that is what it sounds like "To You". To take this a bit further ask someone else to blow it as well it may well be that two different people make two different sounds. But to generalise to me it sounds like blowing through a blade of grass, held between your thumbs. Barrie
Why do some sounds last longer than others?
it has to do with distance temp. and wave lengths
Is the saxophone high pitch or low pitch?
low pitched if it isn't obvious! The Saxophone is very high pitched and it sounds like a little girl screaming at the top of her lungs but the bass saxophone is very very low it sounds like somebody is like woooooow very slowly and loudly at the same time
