Question

Which wave property determines pitch.

Answer 1

Pitch:

1. Pitch is the characteristic of sound which distinguishes a shrill sound from a flat one.
2. Frequency is the number of vibrations a particle undergoes in one second.
3. Pitch is directly proportional to the frequency of the vibrating particle.
4. Higher the frequency, the higher the pitch of the sound.

Hence, the frequency of a wave determines pitch.
