Pitch of sound is determined by its ____________

Open in App

Solution

Pitch is a sound characteristic that allows for the identification of sounds based on their frequency. Only sounds with a consistent frequency can be used to calculate pitch. This sets it apart from background noise.
Pitch is measured in terms of frequency. The number of waves that travel through a fixed place in one unit of time is known as frequency.
Higher frequency refers to higher pitch and vice versa.
Hence, the pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency.

(b)Pitch of the sound produced by it?

Correct the whole passage-

The amplitude of vibration of a sound wave determines its pitch. The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the lower is its pitch, and hence shriller is the sound produced. Similarly, a sound wave of lower frequency has a low pitch and hence a shriller sound is produced. For example, a man's voice is shriller than a woman's voice. Some examples of low pitch sounds are the screaming of a child and the buzzing of mosquitoes whereas examples of high pitch sounds are the beating of a drum and the roaring of a lion.
