Chapter 10.4, Problem 10.6.1QC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The coding of sound’s pitch and loudness.
Introduction:
Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions by which the sound travels in the medium of air.
Sound waves have intensity called as loudness and frequency known as pitch. Loudness is dependent on the amplitude of the sound wave, where the amplitude is larger the loudness is more.
Pitch of sound is determined by its frequency. If the sound’s frequency is higher, then it can be said that the sound is basically shrill and high pitched. Unit of measurement of the sound’s pitch is Hertz.
