What happens to sound when frequency is increased?

Open in App

Solution

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
When the frequency is increased the wavelength is decreased, therefore the pitch of the sound is increased.
An increase in frequency represents the greater pitch or sharpness of the sound.
Frequency and time period are inversely proportional.
If the frequency increases the time period of the sound wave will decrease.
