Solution

Sound coming from musical instruments is very complex and can be thought of as an infinite sum of sine waves of different frequencies. The pitch that you hear and identify is called the fundamental frequency. Sound having same intensity or loudness even coming from different musical instruments like violin or a guitar can easily be distinguish on the basis of pitch.
