Other way. "Frequency" tells you how "frequently" something is happening.

If it's happening more frequently, then it has higher frequency.

Do sounds that vibrate quickly make small waves or long waves?

Sounds that vibrate quickly create short waves, while sounds that vibrate slowly create long waves. The frequency of the vibration determines the length of the wave - high frequency vibrations result in short waves, while low frequency vibrations result in long waves.


How do high and low pitch sounds occur with matter energy?

High-pitch sounds occur when matter vibrates quickly, producing high-frequency waves. Low-pitch sounds result from slower vibrations, creating waves with lower frequencies. The energy of sound waves is transferred through the particles of matter as they vibrate, leading to the perception of different pitches.


Does a low pitched note have a high frequency?

No, a low pitched note has a low frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, with low frequency sounds corresponding to low pitched notes and high frequency sounds corresponding to high pitched notes.


Why does a thick rubber band make a low pitch?

A thick rubber band makes a low pitch because it has less tension and lower frequency of vibrations than a thin rubber band. Thicker rubber bands vibrate more slowly, producing a lower frequency sound wave, which results in a lower pitch.


What frequencies travel furthest through water?

Low frequency sound waves, such as infrasound and low-frequency ultrasound, travel furthest through water because they have longer wavelengths and can penetrate water with less energy loss. High frequency sounds are absorbed more quickly by water due to their shorter wavelengths.

Why can you see objects in different colours?

It all depends on the frequency of a wavelenght for example red is a low frequency and violet is a high frequency


Why does your E string on your guitar vibrate so much when you play a powerchord?

The vibrations are what makes the sound. The higher strings vibrate very quickly so it is difficult to see, but the low pitch of the low E string means that you can see it vibrating.


Why does a high pitch noise have a greater frequency?

because the vibration is so fast your ears hurt low pitched sounds vibrate slowly and doesn't hurt


What is the cause of Hum in AC Capacitors?

Hum is caused in (low frequency) AC capacitors by electrostatic forces between the capacitor's plates, causing them to vibrate.


If you make a musical instrument shortter will it have a high or low frequency?

That would surely depend on the specific instrument, and the way it produces its sound. Two examples:A shorter string will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.Similarly, the air in a shorter tube will vibrate faster, and therefore produce a higher frequency.


Why objects become dry quickly on mountains?

Due to the altitude (low air pressure), and Low humidity, liquid moisture will become water vapor very quickly on top of a mountain.

What will the pitch be if the frequency is low?

Low frequency = low pitch = long waves


Is lower pitch a low frequency or high frequency?

low

A sound with a low pitch always has a low?

I think the answer you seek is frequency. A low pitch equals a low frequency of the sound wave.
