A) it is determined by the frequency of vibrations of air molecules
B) it depends on the amplitude of the waves
C) it is measured in units of decibels
D) it depends on the shapes of the ossicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of vibrations of air molecules. Higher frequency vibrations produce higher pitched sounds, while lower frequency vibrations produce lower pitched sounds. Amplitude, measured in units of decibels, affects the loudness or volume of a sound, but not its pitch. The shapes of the ossicles in the middle ear help to amplify and transmit sound, but do not determine its pitch.
