Two sound waves are equal in amplitude but differ in frequency. How will the two sounds produced by these waves differ?
A) in loudness
B) in decibel level
C) in pitch
D) in complexity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two sounds will differ in pitch because pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound waves. Sounds with a higher frequency have a higher pitch, while sounds with a lower frequency have a lower pitch. The amplitude of the sound wave, on the other hand, affects the loudness or volume of the sound.
