Why is a sound wave considered to be a mechanical wave? What properties of sound
waves are responsible for pitch and volume

Answer 1

Answer:

Mechanical Sound Waves - A sound wave moves through air by displacing air particles in a chain reaction. ... Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. For pitch the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. Frequency is measured in hertz, or cycles per second. Frequency also affects loudness, with higher-pitched sounds being perceived as louder. Amplitude and frequency of sound waves interact to produce the experiences of loudness and pitch.
