Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pitch of a musical sound is determined by its frequency, or the number of vibrations (cycles) per second of the sound wave. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch, while a lower frequency sound wave produces a lower pitch. Wavelength, speed, and amplitude do not directly affect pitch.
