Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of vibrations of air molecules. Higher frequency vibrations produce higher pitched sounds, while lower frequency vibrations produce lower pitched sounds. Amplitude, units of decibels, and shapes of the ossicles are all factors that affect the volume of a sound, not the pitch.
