A short wave length means high frequency (number of impulses per time unit is high) the compression in the medium which transmits the wave is greater therefore the medium becomes squeezed lateral to the direction of propagation of the wave. This later squeezing out of the wave is the amplitude of the wave which represents the wave pitch.

Do high pitched sounds have a longer wave length than low pitched .?
No, the higher the pitch, the shorter the wavelength.
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
Does a higher frequency sound have a higher wavelength?
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 frequencieshave the same speed, as long as they're all moving through the same stuff.
Difference between pitch and volume of sound?
Pitch- How high or low it sounds. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency.Frequency- The number of wavelengths in an area. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
What makes high pitched sounds?
Shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies makes high pitched sounds. Take a rubber band and cut part of it; hold it between your fingers and stretch it slightly; strum it. You will hear a low sound. Pull it tighter, and strum it. It moves faster, and the sound is higher. Low frequencies sounds low. Thus the slower movement of the rubber band. Higher frequencies are faster. ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v <--High frequency ^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^- <-- lower frequency The "frequency" is talking about how frequent, or often, the waves are. The more waves in a space, the faster, and thus, higher the sound will be.
Do higher-pithed sounds have shorter wavelengths?
yes. Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship.
How are high-frequency sounds different from low-frequency?
Their wavelengths are shorter, and they are perceived as having higher pitch.

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
Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?
Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short

How are low-pitch sounds different from high-pitched sounds?
Low pitched sounds have a low frequency. Higher sounds have high frequency, that is the number of waves passing a point per second is greater.
How can you differentiate between high and loud sounds and low and soft sounds?
High sounds are usually heard when you play the keys of a piano that are on your right; they have shorter wavelengths than low sounds. Low sounds are usually heard when the keys on a piano's left end are played; they have long wavelengths. Soft sounds are quiet and can't render your ears deaf. Loud sounds that are over 85 decibels can damage your hearing.
Is 120hertz higher than 60hertz?
They're both very low pitched sounds to human years but yes, 120 will sound higher pitched. It's not a higher volume or anything though.
