Question

The terms pitch, quality and loudness of sound are associated with the following, respectively-

• A. amplitude, frequency and waveform
• B. Frequency, amplitude and waveform
• C. Frequency, waveform and amplitude
• D. Waveform, frequency and amplitude

Answer 1

The correct option is C Frequency, waveform and amplitude

Given :The terms pitch, quality and loudness of sound are associated with the following, respectively-

Solution :

The pitch of a sound is our ear’s response to the frequency of the sound waves. The pitch is the reason behind the shrillness invoices of different individuals.

The quality or timbre of a sound is that characteristic that enables us to distinguish one sound from another having the same pitch and loudness. It depends upon the waveform of the sound.

The loudness of a sound is determined by its amplitude.

So,

• pitch is associated with $\to$ frequency
• quality is associated with $\to$ waveform
• loudness is associated with $\to$ amplitude
