Question

Given below are the sound waveforms of the voices of a boy and a girl. The pitch of the boy’s voice is ____ the pitch of the girl’s voice. 

  1. >
  2. <
  3. =
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

The pitch depends on the frequency. High frequency means high pitch.

The correct answer is: <


    • The total number of waves produced in one second is called the frequency of the wave.
    • The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency.
    • It tells us about the frequency of the sound.
    • Sound with high frequency has higher pitch then the sound with low frequency.
    • Therefore, in the given sound waveforms, pitch of boy's voice is less than the pitch of girl's voice.
    • So, the correct option is b.
