When you generate a high frequency sound, through earphones or a speaker,

you hear it as a high pitched sound. Higher frequency ==> higher pitch.

Higher-frequency sounds have shorter wavelengths, and sounds of all frequencies

have the same speed, as long as they're all moving through the same stuff.

What will you hear if the wavelength got shorter?

If the wavelength gets shorter, you will hear a higher frequency sound. This change in frequency can lead to the perception of a higher pitch in the sound.


The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?

the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter


Determine which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


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


Which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets high?

Frequency and wavelength of the sound wave change when pitch gets higher. A higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency and shorter wavelength in a sound wave.


What happens with wavelength changes in sound?

When the wavelength of sound increases, the frequency decreases, resulting in a lower pitch sound. Conversely, if the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases, leading to a higher pitch sound. This relationship is governed by the speed of sound in a given medium.


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 do frequency change the pitch of a sound?

Pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound. It is one of the three major auditory attributes of sounds along with loudness and timbre.


What happens when to the wavelength of a sound when the frequency increases?

When the frequency of a sound increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of sound remains constant in a given medium. Higher frequency sound waves have shorter wavelengths because they are compressed together more closely.


If a sorce of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person the sound heard by the person appears to have?

A frequency higher than the original frequency.


Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?

Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases


How does a wavelength of a sound increase decrease or stay the same as a musician changes from the first to second sound?

As a musician changes from the first to second sound, the wavelength of the sound can increase, decrease, or stay the same depending on factors such as the frequency of the sound, the instrument being used, and the musician's technique. A higher frequency sound will have a shorter wavelength, while a lower frequency sound will have a longer wavelength.
