You're probably think of the Doppler effect, which is the change of the frequency of a signal depending on the motion of the observer relative to the signal source. The typical example involves a car horn and a person standing on the side of the road. If you are standing still next to a stopped car and its horn sounds, you will hear a certain pitch. If the same horn is sounded as the car is driving toward you, the pitch you perceive will be higher - the higher the car speed, the higher the pitch. If the car is driving away from you, the pitch will be lower. This is because the motion of the car is causing the sound waves to compress (driving toward you) or stretch (driving away from you), increasing or decreasing the frequency and raising or lowering the pitch.
What else can I help you with?
How does tube length affect sound?
A longer tube causes the soundwave to have a longer wavelength, a lower frequency and hence have a lower pitch.
The pitch of a sound wave is its?
Its' frequency.
What unit is used to express the intensity of sound?
decibel
How does the pitch of sound vary with frequency?
pitch corresponds directly with frequency, so as frequency increases, so does pitch.
What is the relationship between pitch and frequency?
Easy: direct relationship, higher ptich, higher frequency (and vice-versa) lower pitch lower frequency Hard to explain more... Both are of sound waves, plus they effect how sound will travel in that higher frequencies are attenuated more rapidly than low frequency for the same distance and medium..
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
What sound is decided by the frequency of its vibrations?
The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of its vibrations. A higher frequency produces a higher pitch sound, while a lower frequency produces a lower pitch sound.
Does the pitch determine how high or low a sound is?
Yes, the pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. A higher frequency produces a higher pitch sound, while a lower frequency produces a lower pitch sound.
The characteristic of a sound wave that we hear as pitch is the?
frequency of the sound wave. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.
What does a pitch of sound depend on?
The pitch of sound depends on the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency waves result in higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves result in lower pitch sounds.
What is the pitch of a sound is most closely related to?
The pitch of a sound is most closely related to the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency sound waves are perceived as higher pitch, while lower frequency sound waves are perceived as lower pitch.
What factor deter mine's the pitch of a sound?
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. Higher frequency sounds have higher pitch, while lower frequency sounds have lower pitch.
What factor determines the pitch o a sound?
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.
What makes a sound become higher or lower?
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A higher frequency produces a higher pitch, while a lower frequency produces a lower pitch. The faster the vibrations in the sound wave, the higher the pitch will be.
Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?
Pitch corresponds to the frequency of a sound wave. A higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while a lower frequency results in a lower pitch.
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.
What is the relationship between sound waves frequency and the pitch of a sound?
The frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the pitch of a sound. Higher frequency sound waves produce higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency sound waves produce lower pitch sounds.
