Chapter 26, Problem 2A
How does pitch relate to frequency?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The relation between pitch & frequency.
Answer to Problem 2A
The frequency of sound is known as pitch.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The frequency is defined as the reciprocal of time period . The pitch is related to sound wave.
The frequency of sound is known as pitch. The instrument having high vibrational frequency is termed as high pitch and with low vibrational frequency is termed as low pitch.
Conclusion: The pitch is defined as the frequency of sound .
