does the wavelength of a sound wave determine the pitch or loudness of a sound??

Solution

Hi Lakshmi!

The pitch of the sound depends on the frequency of the sound. As the wavelength of sound is inversely proportional to the frequency, we can say the pitch is dependent on wavelength. The loudness of the sound depends on its amplitude.
