explain how wavelength affects the pitch of sound

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[v=f \lambda\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v is velocity and f is frequency

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the speed of sound is constant in a medium then v is constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the wavelength (which is the greek letter lambda) goes down then the frequency or pitch goes up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember the speed of sound is only constant in one medium
