Pitch of a note depends on its

Pitch of a note depends on its

  • A. Wavelength
  • B. Frequency
  • C. \) Both
  • D. None

Step-by-step solution

Pitch is a perceptual property of sound that corresponds directly to the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency results in higher pitch, while lower frequency results in lower pitch. Although wavelength is related to frequency through the wave speed, pitch is determined solely by frequency.
