Chapter 26, Problem 2A
How does pitch relate to frequency?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The relation between pitch & frequency.
Answer to Problem 2A
The frequency of sound is known as pitch.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The frequency is defined as the reciprocal of time period . The pitch is related to sound wave.
The frequency of sound is known as pitch. The instrument having high vibrational frequency is termed as high pitch and with low vibrational frequency is termed as low pitch.
Conclusion: The pitch is defined as the frequency of sound .

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
