Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.
The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.
If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem. Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist ! All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time. But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow. They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !
Answer:
One of the best candidates for a black hole is found in the binary system called A0620-0090. The two objects in the binary system are an orange star, V616 Monocerotis, and a compact object believed to be a black hole. The orbital period of A0620-0090 is 7.75hours, the mass of V616 Monocerotis is estimated to be .67 times the mass of the sun, and the mass of the black hole is estimated to be 3.8 times the mass of the sun. Assuming that the orbits are circular, find the radius of the orbit of the orange star.

Answer:
5.3 cm
Explanation:
This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.
From the question, we have the following given parameters
Real Distance, R = 8.0cm
Refractive Index, μ = 1.5
Required
Determine the apparent distance (A)
The relationship between R, A and μ is:
μ = R/A
i.e.
Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance
Substitute values in the above formula
1.5 = 8/A
Multiply both sides by A
1.5 * A = A * 8/A
1.5A = 8
Divide both side by 1.5
1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5
A = 8/1.5
A = 5.3cm
Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm
