The period would decrease, since the period is simply the reciprocal of the frequency. Also, the wavelength should decrease - since the speed of a wave usually doesn't depend significantly on the frequency, and the wavelength is equal to the speed divided by the frequency.

When the amplitude decreases what happens to the frequency?

When the amplitude decreases, the frequency remains constant. Amplitude and frequency are independent of each other in a wave. The frequency determines the pitch of the sound or the color of light, while the amplitude determines the intensity or loudness of the sound or brightness of light.


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.


What happens to the frequency and Amplitude when you scream?

When you scream, the frequency typically increases, resulting in a higher pitch. The amplitude also increases, making the sound louder. This happens because your vocal cords vibrate faster and with more force when you scream compared to when you speak normally.


How can pitch an volume change?

Pitch refers to the frequency of a sound wave, while volume refers to the amplitude. To change pitch, adjust the frequency of the sound wave, such as by tightening vocal cords for higher pitch or loosening for lower pitch. To change volume, adjust the amplitude of the sound wave, such as by speaking louder or softer.


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.

What happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?

It is less loud. Frequency affects what we hear as pitch. Amplitude affects volume.

Does frequency change when you turn up the volume?

No, turning up the volume does not change the frequency of a sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is determined by the rate of vibrations, while the volume is related to the amplitude of the wave, which increases the intensity of the sound.


Dose the pitch of a sound coincide with frequency or amplitude?

Frequency.


Does a sound wave with a large amplitude transfer more frequency than a sound wave with a small amplitude?

No it doesn't. The amplitude is the distance of the crest/trough from the rest axis. The frequency is the rate at which the wave "pulsates". If the waves are closer together, then the frequency is increased. If the waves are bigger in width, the amplitude is increased.


What is the difference between loudness and pitch of sound?

Amplitude versus frequencyLoudness is a function of the sound wave's amplitude of the sound pressure. Aour ear drums are moved by the sound pressure.The greater the amplitude, the greater the volume. Pitch is related to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.Loudness = amplitude of the sound pressureSoftest soundLoudest soundPitch = frequencyLowest pitchHighest pitch


What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?

Low pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave, while high pitch refers to a higher frequency. Amplitude, on the other hand, is the magnitude or intensity of a sound wave. A sound with high amplitude will be louder than one with low amplitude.


What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".
