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.

What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
Does a high pitch sound have a low frequency?
No. High pitch = high frequency = short wave
The high the frequency of a sound wave means?
the shorter the wave-length
What is ultrasonic wave?
An ultrasonic wave is a sound pressure wave that has a very high frequency. The frequency is higher that what humans can hear.
The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?
The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.
How high or low you perceive a sound to be depending on the frequency of the sound wave is defined as the?
Pitch
What factor determine's the pitch of sound?
Pitch is determined by sound wave frequency; how fast something is vibrating. High-pitched sounds are higher frequency meaning they are vibrating faster. Low pitch means they are vibrating slower.
Explain high and low pitch frequency's?
The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the higher the pitch.
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
What is determine by wave frequency?
The wave length w=v/frequency.
