Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
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 .
