Question

sound of the same frequency and loudness played on a sitar and guitar are different. what causes this difference

Answer 1

HOLA friend!!
Rajdeep here....

There are three properties of Sound:
1. Loudness
2. Ptich
3. Quality

1. Loudness depends upon the intensity of the sound and the power of ear of the listener. Loudness also depends upon the amplitude of sound.

2. Pitch depends upon the frequency of the sound, i.e., the number of vibrations per second.

3. Quality or timbre of a sound depends upon its WAVE FORM, and presence of subsidiary waves.

Hence, if notes of same frequency and loudness is produced from two different instruments like sitar and guitar, their wave forms are different, so their quality becomes different.

hence, we can distinguish between them.

Thanks!!
