Why does not the frequency of sound wave depend on the amplitude of vibration.

Solution

Dear Student ,
The change in loudness brought by an increase in amplitude is not proportionate .It all comes down to waveform and how they vibrate .It is these vibrations that make sound .Amplitude affects the size of vibration while the frequency affects the speed of vibration .That is what sound gives its pitch .
That is why sound does not depend on the amplitude of vibration .
Regards
