Chapter 10.2, Problem 10R

To determine

To compare: Frequency and pitch.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Sound is a form of energy which occurs in waves and can travel via liquid, solids materials and gases. Both frequency and pitch describes a same thing but in a different manner. Frequency measures the cycle rate of a waveform while pitch determines how low or high the waveform will sound if a person will hear it.

Comparison between frequency and pitch is mentioned below:

Frequency	Pitch
Frequency is a physical quantity that gives number of vibrations per second.	Pitch is the perceptual quantity of the listener.
It is independent of the pitch.	It is dependent on the frequency of sound.
It has a magnitude.	It does not have a magnitude.

Conclusion:

Both, frequency and pitch have a relationship but are entirely different from each other.
