What happens to the pitch when the sound source moves away from you?

The pitch lowers as the wavelength of the sound increases. It's called the Doppler effect


What happens to the pitch of sound if the box is elongated?

The pitch gets lower as the wavelength expands


When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?

frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases


What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave when it travels through water rather than air?

the wave length of sound increases


Determine which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


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".


What happens to frequency when pitch increases?

As the pitch of a sound increases the frequency also increses, so the higher the frequency of a sound, the higher its pitch. Jamezboi


Is a pitch of a sound its wavelength?

true


The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?

Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM


What will happen to the sound waves from two loudspeakers vibrating in phase if the frequency increases and the wavelength decreases?

Assuming this happens in phase, the pitch of the sound will increase. If only one of the loudspeakers does this, they'll be out of phase, which will initially sound like a slow pulsed beat, but eventually will form a chord.


What happens when you increase the frequency of a sound wave?

Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.


Is The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its?

The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.
