The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch.

Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.

What does amplitude and pitch mean?

The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be and the pitch (frequency = cycles per second) of the oscillation tells how high the sound of the tone will be. The amplidude gives the loudness of the tone. The the pitch gives the frequency of the tone.


Which relation is there between wavelength and height?

There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.


Does the slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?

No. The slope on a speed vs time graph tells the acceleration.


Do the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tells the speed?

No. The vertical value of each point (the y-value) tells the speed.

How do you distinguish velocity from speed?

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion, while speed is a scalar quantity that only refers to the magnitude of an object's motion. In simpler terms, velocity tells you both how fast something is moving and in what direction, whereas speed only tells you how fast it is moving.


What velocity tells?

speed and deriction (;


Which type of speed is on a speedometer?

It reads instantaneous speed, and tells you nothing about average speed.
