In short, frequency determines the pitch of the sound. The frequency is basically nothing more than a number of occurances per unit time. In music this is commonly referred to in Hertz (1 cycle/second). Acoustically this means that the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch; conversely, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch. The other options aren't as viable as the loudness of the sound is based on vibrations of the air, and the speed is governed by the medium through which it propagates. The magnitude of compression, in the context of the question, appears to be more based on the idea of a pressure wave.

temporarily, frequency determines the pitch of the sound. The frequency is quite no longer something greater effective than quite some occurances according to unit time. In track this is declared in Hertz (a million cycle/2nd). Acoustically this means that the better the frequency, the better the pitch; conversely, the decrease the frequency, the decrease the pitch. the different thoughts are not as practicable because of the fact the loudness of the sound is in accordance with vibrations of the air, and the cost is ruled by utilising the medium in which it propagates. The magnitude of compression, interior the context of the question, seems to be greater based on the belief of a stress wave.

A is the answer. Pitch is similar to frequency. A high pitched note has a high frequency. Pitch is with reference to acoustics and sonic waves, that is sound waves audible to human ears. Frequency is a scientific word that expresses the number of waves per second.

i would say the answer is A, the higher the frequency, the higher pitch.
C is somewhat the right answer but not the answer. When we talk about speed of sound, we usually talk about what type of medium sound is traveling through.

A) Higher frequency, higher pitch.

answers is A)
because velocity = frequency * wave lenth
by the above statement we can eliminate option c & d
loudness is determined by the intensity of the wave
clearly answer is a
