Question

Write the definition of pitch.

Answer 1

Pitch is the characteristic of a sound. It basically depends on the frequency of the sound wave. Followings are the properties of the pitch -

• This depends on the frequency of vibration of the waves.
• If the frequency of vibration is higher, we say that the sound is shrill and has a high pitch. On the other hand, if the sound is said to have a lower pitch then it has a lower frequency of vibration.
• A bird produces a high-pitched sound whereas the roaring of a lion is a low-pitched sound.
• The voice of a woman has a high pitch than that of a man.
