Question

What are the factors on which the pitch of the sound depends? Explain.

Answer 1

1. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency.
2. The sense of pitch depends on the intensity of the tone.
3. The pitch of a sound is related to its frequency, low frequency sounds have a low pitch, whereas high-frequency sounds have a high pitch.
4. The wavelength and time period are also factors.
5. The word that musicians use for frequency is pitch. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the pitch, of the sound. In other words, short waves sound high; long waves sound low.
6. Frequency is directly proportional to pitch. Higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
