Question

Identify and distinguish between the following characteristics of sound waves: frequency, pitch, amplitude, volume, and wavelength.

Answer 1

Frequency- number of wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time.

Pitch- number of wavelengths in a given amount of time.

Amplitude- fluctuation or displacement of a wave from its mean value. That means how high or low they are away from the center line.

Volume- The perception of loudness from the intensity of a sound wave. The higher the intensity of a sound, the louder it is perceived in our ears, and the higher volume it has.

Wavelength- the distance between the tops of the waves

volume deals with the loudness, frequency is the pace, amplitude is the force used pitch is how high and wavelength is the length of the top part of the wave

Answer 2

Frequency- number of wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time.

Pitch- number of wavelengths in a given amount of time.

Amplitude- fluctuation or displacement of a wave from its mean value. That means how high or low they are away from the center line.

Volume- The perception of loudness from the intensity of a sound wave. The higher the intensity of a sound, the louder it is perceived in our ears, and the higher volume it has.

Wavelength- the distance between the tops of the "waves".

Answer 3

Frecny- Number of wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time.
