Question

What determines how high-pitched or low-pitched sounds are? (Select all that apply.) Pitch is determined by the volume of the sound. Pitch is determined by the wavelength of the sound wave. Pitch is determined by the direction of the sound. Pitch is determined by the distance between points of compression.

Answer 1

Answer:

frequency

Explanation:

Sounds are higher or lower in pitch according to the frequency of vibration of the sound waves producing them. A high frequency (e.g., 880 hertz [Hz; cycles per second]) is perceived as a high pitch and a low frequency (e.g., 55 Hz) as a low pitch.
