difference between pitch of sound and intensity of sound
Answers
Answer:
Pitch is known as the Shrillness of the sound wheras intensity is amount of energy flowing per unit time through a unit area that is perpendicular to the direction in which the sound waves are travelling.
Explanation:
Pitch of Sound:
This depends on the frequency of vibration of the waves. If the frequency of vibration is higher, we say that the sound is shrill and has a high pitch. On the other hand, if the sound is said to have a lower pitch then it has a lower frequency of vibration. For example: The pitch of a female is much higher than that of a man.
Intensity of Sound:
Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave.
The pitch of a sound is our ear's response to the frequency of sound. Whereas loudness depends on the energy of the wave. ... The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves...
