What is the pitch of a sound wave?

Asked by kaitlynbrittny

Answer (2)

That's the impression you get from the sound, that you call 'high' or 'low', determined by the FREQUENCY of the wave.

The pitch of a sound wave is determined by its frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz). Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. For example, a bird's chirp has a high pitch due to its high frequency, whereas a lion's roar has a low pitch due to its low frequency.
