The pitch of sound Depends on the frequency, or how fast something is vibrating and the length and/or the diameter.

LOW PITCH: HIGH PITCH:

long length Short length

Large Diameter Small Diameter

Slow Frequency Fast Frequency

The best example of this would be a human's vocal chords. Adults have longer, bigger , slower vocal chords in their Larynx (voice box) than children because they have fully grown. This is why Adults have lower voices than children. With the exception of teenagers, because they might have grown just as much. Next time you have a chance, look at a guitar and see the different size strings.

What does pitch depend on?

Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. Higher frequency sound waves result in higher pitch, while lower frequency sound waves result in lower pitch. The pitch of a sound is perceived by the human ear based on the frequency of the sound wave.


Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?

Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.

What causes the sound of pitch?

The sound of pitch is primarily determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch and lower frequencies to lower pitch. The pitch of a sound is also influenced by the vibration frequency of the sound source and the length, tension, and density of the vibrating material.


What describes the highness and the lowness of the sound?

Pitch describes the highness and lowness of a sound. A high pitch sound has a high frequency, while a low pitch sound has a low frequency.


What is sound and pitch?

When a person talks or something crashes it forms a sound. There is sound all over the world. Sound can vary in two different ways. The pitch (not the pitch as in football pitch) of a sound and the volume of a sound. Pitch is how high or how low a sound is. A high pitched sound is like when a child talks.
