Question

State the factors on which the pitch of a sound depends.

Answer 1

Hint: Let us first define pitch before we move on to the question. When we speak, our pitch is the rise and fall of our voice. It is a sound property that allows us to distinguish between sounds of similar intensity.

Complete answer:
Pitch is a perceptual attribute of sounds that allows them to be ordered on a frequency-related scale, or, to put it another way, pitch is the quality that allows humans to judge sounds as "higher" or "lower" in the sense of musical melodies.

The factors on which the pitch of a sound depends are:
-Frequency: The frequency of a sound determines its pitch. Because the pitch of a sound is related to its frequency, low frequency sounds have a low pitch, whereas high frequency sounds have a high pitch.
-The wavelength and time period are also factors.

Additional Information: Although pitch and frequency are closely connected, they are not interchangeable. Frequency is a scientifically measured and objective property. The subjective perception of a sound wave by each individual, which cannot be measured directly, is known as pitch.

Note:Pitch and loudness should not be confused by students. These two occurrences appear to be similar at times, yet they are not identical. They are distinguished by the purity of their tones. A sound's pitch is our ear's response to the frequency of the sound. The loudness of a wave is determined by its energy. The pitch, in general, is the explanation for the differences in voice quality between people.
