Q. Consider the following statements regarding the properties of sound:
- Low pitch sound has low frequency, whereas high pitch sound has high frequency.
- Soft sound has small pitch, and louder sound has large pitch.
Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer:
Only 1
Notes: Statement 1 is correct: pitch is directly related to the frequency of sound waves; low pitch corresponds to low frequency and high pitch to high frequency. Statement 2 is incorrect: softness and loudness depend on amplitude, not pitch. Thus, soft or loud sounds may have any pitch based on their frequency, not their amplitude.
