only wavelength
Actually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:
cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/s
where T is the kelvin temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What properties of sound determine the pitch of sound?
The pitch is determined by how high the sound is.
The smaller the vibrating element the higher its pitch?
Yes, the shorter the wavelength of sound, the higher the pitch.
If the musician then presses down on the string and plucks it the sound produces has a shorter wavelength How does the pitch of the sound change?
like i know....
How does the wavelength of a G-note sound wave compare to the wavelength of an A-note sound wave?
Assuming that both notes are in the range of C4 (middle C) and C5, G has a frequency of 392Hz, and A has a frequency of 440Hz. Assuming that both sound waves are travelling through air, through which sound travels at 340ms-1, then the wavelengths for G and A can be found to be 0.87m and 0.77m, respectively.An easier way to assess a change in wavelength would be to look at the equation v=fλ, where v is the speed of sound, f is the frequency of the note, and λ is the wavelength of the note. A higher pitch note means a higher frequency, and since the speed of sound is constant, then if the pitch is increased the wavelength must compensate by decreasing.Simply put, higher pitch means smaller wavelength.
Can you change the pitch of a sound?
um...It hasn't been quite determined yet. I think they are Still trying tofigure it out but if you were to ask me I would say no you can not change the pitch of sound
What is determined by wavelength in sound?
The wavelength in sound determines the pitch of the sound. A shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher pitch, while a longer wavelength corresponds to a lower pitch.
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.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its alone?
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its and speed together or its frequency alone?
The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency alone. The frequency refers to how many times a sound wave oscillates per second, which directly correlates with the pitch we perceive. The speed of sound affects the propagation of the sound wave but not its pitch.
How The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Pitch is actually determined by the frequency of a sound wave, not its wavelength. Frequency refers to the number of oscillations per second, while wavelength is the distance between two peaks of a wave. Higher frequency sounds have a higher pitch, while lower frequency sounds have a lower pitch.
How is pitch ditermaned in wavelenth?
Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave, not its wavelength. Higher frequencies are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequencies are perceived as lower pitch sounds. Wavelength is related to frequency by the speed of sound in the medium, but it is not directly responsible for determining pitch.
Is a pitch of a sound its wavelength?
No, the pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, which is the number of oscillations per second. Wavelength is the physical distance between two consecutive peaks of a wave and is related to frequency through the wave speed equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
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 happens to the wavelength of sound if the pitch increases from A440 to A880?
If the pitch increases from A440 to A880, the wavelength of the sound decreases by half. This is because pitch and wavelength are inversely proportional - as pitch increases, wavelength decreases.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and together or its frequency alone.?
The pitch of a sound is primarily determined by its frequency, which is the number of complete cycles of a sound wave that occur in a second. Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, and lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. Wavelength plays a secondary role in determining pitch, as it is inversely related to frequency; shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and vice versa.
How does pitch relate to change in frequency and wavelength?
Pitch is the perceptual quality of sound that is primarily determined by the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency sounds are perceived as having a higher pitch, while lower frequency sounds are perceived as having a lower pitch. As frequency increases, pitch also increases and vice versa. Wavelength is inversely related to frequency, meaning that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa.
How can you show the difference between pitch and loudness?
In terms of a wave, the pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, which is also in inverse proportion to its wavelength. The loudness/volume of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the wave. Both higher frequency and higher amplitude signify more energy in a wave.
