Which of the following pairs of terms related to the perceived qualities of light and sound result from similar physical properties of light and sound?
A) brightness and loudness
B) color and timbre
C) saturation and pitch
D) frequency and wavelength

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both brightness and loudness are related to the intensity or amplitude of the wave. A higher intensity or amplitude corresponds to a brighter light or louder sound. Color and timbre, on the other hand, are related to the complexity of the wave and the specific frequencies present. Saturation and pitch are related to the purity and frequency of the wave, respectively. Frequency and wavelength are related, but they apply specifically to either light or sound and do not have a direct similarity between the two.
