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 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
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 and speed together or its frequency alone?
The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequency alone.
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.
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".
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
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.
What properties of sound determine the pitch of sound?
The pitch is determined by how high the sound is.
How does wavelength affect sound and light?
Sound - pitch Light - color.
Sound with a high wavelength also has what other property?
Sound with large wavelength has low frequency / low pitch.
What is pitch in terms of sound?
Either frequency or wavelength.
What causes pitch to change?
Every sound vibrates with a particular fundamental frequency. When you change the wavelength of a sound, you change the pitch of a sound.
