A description of a sound wave that is closely related to frequency is called?

The description of a sound wave that is closely related to frequency is called pitch. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived to be and is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequency sounds having a higher pitch and lower frequency sounds having a lower pitch.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave?

No, a sound wave is a compressional wave.


A series of compressions and rarefractions forms this wave?

A longitudinal wave. In case you don't know what that means, a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particle vibrate to and fro in a direction that is parallel to the direction in which the wave is travelling.


Which is the best description of a sound wave when the pitch of the sound is very high?

A high-pitched sound wave has a higher frequency, meaning there are more oscillations per second. This results in a shorter wavelength and a higher energy level. The sound is perceived as having a shrill or piercing quality.


Is a sound wave a electromaginic wave?

No. A sound wave is a pressure wave.


Is a compression wave a sound wave?

yes a sound wave is a Compressional wave


Is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?

Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave?

Yes, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.


Is sound a transverse wave?

No, sound is a longitudinal wave, not a transverse wave.


Volume of a sound wave is equal to the what?

The amplitude of a sound wave is the same as its volume.


What is the description of a sound as high or low?

Pitch describes whether a sound is perceived as high or low. A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency, while a low-pitched sound has a lower frequency. The pitch of a sound is determined by the rate at which the sound wave vibrates.
