Question

What is the relationship between the frequency and the pitch of a sound?

Answer 1

same thing, different name

Answer 2

Frequency is how fast a sound wave moves. Pitch is how high or low a sound sounds. The faster the sound wave the higher the pitch.

Answer 3

"how fast a sound wave moves" that would be it's velocity, wouldn't it?

Answer 4

yep

Answer 5

V= distance / time

Answer 6

But in your previous post you said that was the frequency..."Frequency is how fast a sound wave moves". You're contradicting yourself now :S

Answer 7

The wave velocity is how long it takes from the top of one crest to the top of the next. Wave frequency is just how many times there is a crest. I confused the two in my head also

Answer 8

The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.

Answer 9

I think this answer "The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave." is more accurate than what you previously said.

Answer 10

what i said before was accurate for velocity, I confused velocity and frequency in my thoughts
