, What is pitch, and how is it determined?


✔✔Pitch is the perceived frequency of a sound, determined by how fast the sound waves vibrate;

higher frequencies result in higher pitches.




How do sound waves behave in different mediums, like water and air?


✔✔Sound waves travel faster in water than in air because water is denser, allowing molecules to

transfer vibrations more efficiently.




What is resonance, and how does it relate to sound?


✔✔Resonance is when an object vibrates at its natural frequency, amplifying the sound; this

phenomenon can be seen in musical instruments.




What role does frequency play in the quality of sound?


✔✔Frequency affects the quality of sound by determining its pitch; higher frequencies create

higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches.




How can sound be used in communication?

like telephones and radios.
