The answer is essentially in the question.

Sound is the sensation caused by vibrations in the air.

The faster the vibrations, the higher the frequency.

So, when an engine is revved, the frequency of the vibrations it creates increases, and it gives higher frequency sounds, perceived as an increase in pitch.

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).


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?

Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths


Why are pitch and frequency similar to loudness and intensity?

sound has properties of loudness and pitch. The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of vibration. A speaker making a loud sound moves back and forth more than a speaker making a soft sound. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of vibration. A speaker making a high pitched sound like a siren vibrates with a higher frequency than the same speaker making a low pitched sound like thunder


Is the frequency of thunder a low or high sound?

The frequency of thunder is generally a low sound. Thunder is produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by lightning, creating low-frequency sound waves that we hear as rumbles and booms.

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.

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.


A high frequency sound will be heard as a low or high sound?

high


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

Is a high-frequency sound higher or lower in pitch?

A high-frequency sound is higher in pitch. Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.

If a sound had a high amplitude and high frequency what would it sound like?

The sound would be like thunder, since thunder also has high amplitudes and frequency also. Usually at the begining of thunder you will listen cracking (krat..kat..krat .........) sound which is high frequency and high pitch. At the time when thundering is almost stop you will listen the heavy /bass sound which is very high amplitude and low frequency (goom.goom....goom...........) sound.


A high pitch always corresponds to?

high frequency


What if your answer If a sound has a high pitch then it has a frequency and therefore a wavelenght?

Yes, a sound with a high pitch has a high frequency, which means it has a shorter wavelength. The pitch of a sound is directly related to its frequency, with high-pitched sounds having higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.


What is the pitch of the sound if it has a high frequency?

Really high


Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?

high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
