The frequency of a sound wave is the number of oscillations passing a given point in 1 second. One oscillation per second = one Hz (Hertz). The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. The higher the frequency (more osculations: the higher the pitch. The normal human can detect sounds within the frequency range of 20 -- 20,000 Hz.

Sound is the result of a series of oscillating, longitudinal, mechanical waves of pressure (vibrations) traveling through a transmission medium. Sound waves can not travel in or through a vacuum. They require a transmission medium (some material that is at least slightly compressible) in order to travel. Without a transmission medium, there is no sound. That's the reason space is so quiet.
Sound waves can be transmitted through a: gas (like air), liquid (such as water), or solid (like a steel rod or a a drumstick).
What else can I help you with?
How low or high a sound is its?
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency, while a low-pitched sound has a lower frequency. The unit of measurement for frequency is hertz (Hz).
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.
Which characteristic of sound depends upon frequency?
frequency is the pitch of a sound
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.
Is an echo a high or low frequency sound?
An echo can be either a high or low frequency sound, depending on the original sound that it reflects. The frequency of an echo is typically the same as the frequency of the original sound wave.
What characteristic of sound is most closely related to its frequency?
The pitch of sound is most closely related to its frequency. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound, while a lower frequency sound wave produces a lower pitch sound.
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
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 is formula for the frequency of sound?
The formula for the frequency of sound is: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature.
What difference will you hear in a sound there is increase In the frequency?
An increase in frequency will result in a higher pitch sound. The sound will be perceived as being "higher" or "squeakier" compared to a lower frequency sound.
How does sound affect frequency?
The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
What does the frequency of sound measure?
The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
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.
