What are the two elements of sounds?
Sounds, which are mechanical energy, vary in both frequency and amplitude. The pitch of a sound, the "highness" or "lowness" of that sound is a function of its frequency. Higher frequency equal higher pitch. The amplitude of a sound is the sound energy or "loudness" of the sound. The higher the amplitude of the sound wave, the more energy in the wave and the louder it is. source, medium and sender
Is high pitch close together spacing in sound waves?
No The pitch you hear is determined by the frequency of the sound wave (how fast the particles oscillate back and forth). Higher frequency => higher pitch.
What happens when you increase the frequency of a sound wave?
Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.
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
What type of pitch does a sound with low energy have?
The frequency of the sound wave gives rise to the perception of pitch. Pitch is synonymous to frequency (which is the number of complete waves, or cycles, per second). The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. Pitch
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 pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
Explain high and low pitch frequency's?
The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the higher the pitch.
What wave characteristics affects the loudness of a sound?
A wave form consists of a frequency and an amplitude. Sound pitch becomes higher (or more squeaky) with a higher frequency. The volume of sound becomes louder with a higher amplitude.
What is ultrasonic wave?
An ultrasonic wave is a sound pressure wave that has a very high frequency. The frequency is higher that what humans can hear.
You hear a higher pitch when a sound wave has a greater?
A higher frequency.
Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?
Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases

What is the relationship between the frequency of a sound wave and its pitch?
It's a direct relationship; higher frequency gives you a higher pitch.
What is a sound wave increases the what of the sound increases?
Along with amplitude, being one of the key measurements of sound, the frequency of a sound wave affects the perceived pitch of the sound. As the frequency increases, the pitch becomes higher.
In music the frequency of a sound wave is called?
Pitch - In music, the higher or lower the pitch, the higher or lower the note. Pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound waves.
What happens to the sound waves created as a person sings higher and higher notes?
The frequency of the sound wave increases in this case.
