Low sounds have a longer wave length and so require a larger instrument to produce.
The instruments in each class with the lowest range are the largest members of their class. Examples are the tuba, base viol, bassoon. Conversely, the smallest members have the highest range, such as the piccolo and violin. Pianos and organs have pipes and strings of many different sizes-- the large pipes and long strings make the low sounds.

What does the frequency of sound tell us?

The frequency of sound refers to the number of vibrations per second and determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequencies correspond to higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequencies correspond to lower-pitched sounds. Understanding the frequency of sound can help in understanding the musical notes, identifying different sounds, and measuring noise levels.

How is the highness or lowness of a sound determined?

The pitch of a sound is determined by listening to it. Those with what is called perfect pitch can usually tell what the pitch of a given sound is. The rest of us can use simple electronic equipment that can "read" the frequency of a given waveform.Recall that the mechanical energy we call sound has a pair of basic properties, those being frequency and amplitude. Many different electronic equipments (like an oscilloscope, for one) can be connected to a microphone to determine the pitch of a sound under investigation.

How could you tell whether a police car is chasing you or moving away from you from sound waves?

If the police car is chasing you, the sound waves will have a higher frequency and intensity as it approaches you. As the police car moves away, the sound waves will have a lower frequency and intensity. This change in frequency and intensity can help you determine whether the police car is getting closer or farther away.

How can you tell if the notes frequency is getting lower?

You can tell if the note's frequency is getting lower by listening for a decrease in pitch. As the frequency decreases, the note will sound deeper. You can also use a tuner or a frequency analyzer to measure the frequency of the note.
