For electromagnetic waves:

Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)

OR

wavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)

Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.

What does the pitch of a sound wave depend on?

Timbre of the sound. It is related to the frequency of the fundamental frequency and a combination of overtones.


The characteristic of a sound wave that we hear as pitch is the?

frequency of the sound wave. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch.


Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound. Higher frequency waves are perceived as higher pitch sounds, while lower frequency waves are perceived as lower pitch sounds.


What characteristic of sound is most closely related to its frequency?

The pitch of sound is most closely related to its frequency. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound, while a lower frequency sound wave produces a lower pitch sound.


Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?

Pitch corresponds to the frequency of a sound wave. A higher frequency results in a higher pitch, while a lower frequency results in a lower pitch.


The frequency of a sound wave determines?

The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitches.


Is the lower the frequency the louder the pitch sound?

No, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch of the sound. Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches. The perception of loudness is more closely related to the amplitude or intensity of the sound wave.


The frequency of sound wave determines what?

The rate at which the sound source is vibrating :) --> novanet answer


What happens if you lower the frequency of a wave on a string?

Lowering the frequency of a wave on a string will result in a longer wavelength and a lower pitch sound.


The characteristic of a sound wave that you hear as pitch is the?

frequency of the wave. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. This is because frequency is directly related to the perceived pitch of the sound.


What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?

The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).


What means the fastness or slowness of a sound?

The fastness or slowness of a sound refers to its frequency, which is measured in hertz (Hz). A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch (fast sound), while a lower frequency sound wave produces a lower pitch (slow sound).
