In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.

What are the factors affect the pitch of sound?

okay whoever said that mass affected pitch is just stupid.... Frequency and amplitude affect pitch


What affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?

The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be and the frequency (cycles per second) of the oscillation tells how high the sound of the tone will be. The amplitude gives the loudness of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness The frequency gives the pitch of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28music%29


What factors affect the pitch?

Loudness, pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.


How does a change in the amplitude of a wave affect the sound produced?

Increasing the amplitude of a wave will make the sound louder, while decreasing it will make the sound quieter. Amplitude affects the volume of the sound but not its pitch.


Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?

Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.


Does the pitch of sound depend on the amplitude of the vibration?

No, the pitch of sound is determined by the frequency of the vibration, not the amplitude. Amplitude affects the loudness or intensity of sound, while frequency affects the pitch.


Does amplitude change when the pitch get higher?

No, the amplitude of a sound wave does not change as the pitch gets higher. The amplitude of a sound wave determines the loudness of the sound, while the pitch is determined by the frequency of the wave.


You hear the amplitude of a wave as?

The amplitude is the volume, while the frequency is the pitch.


How is pitch related to amplitude?

Pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave, while amplitude refers to the strength or intensity of the sound wave. In general, higher pitch sounds are associated with faster frequencies, while louder sounds are associated with higher amplitudes. However, pitch and amplitude are independent characteristics of sound waves, so it is possible to have a high pitch sound with low amplitude, or a low pitch sound with high amplitude.


What properties of waves affect the pitch and loudness of sound?

The frequency of a wave affects the pitch of sound, with higher frequencies producing higher pitched sounds. The amplitude of a wave affects the loudness of sound, with greater amplitudes producing louder sounds.


How is pitch and amplitude different?

Loudness, pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.


How does wave amplitude and frequency affect the sounds we hear.?

Wave amplitude affects the volume or loudness of the sound we hear, with higher amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds. Frequency affects the pitch of the sound we hear, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch sounds. Together, the amplitude and frequency of a sound wave determine how we perceive and interpret the sound.
