Solution

Frequency

  1. The frequency of sound is defined as the number of vibrations per unit of time. It is denoted by f.
  2. The SI unit of frequency is hertz.
  3. The mathematical expression for frequency is f=1T, where f is the frequency, T is the time.
  4. [M0L0T-1] is the dimension of frequency.

Subjective property of sound frequency

  1. The subjective property of sound related to its frequency is Pitch.
  2. The quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it is called pitch.
  3. Pitch is the effect produced in the brain due to the sound of some particular frequency.
  4. Pitch depends upon the frequency, which means that the higher the pitch, the more is the frequency, and the lower the pitch, the less is the frequency.
  5. Decibel is the SI unit of the pitch.
