Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequency refers to the pitch of a sound wave, while amplitude refers to its loudness. Therefore, the best choice is C, where pitch corresponds to frequency and loudness corresponds to amplitude. A is incorrect because loudness is already paired with amplitude, not pitch. B is incorrect because hue refers specifically to the color of light, not the characteristics of sound waves. D is incorrect because decibels are a unit of measurement for sound intensity, which is related to amplitude, while Hertz is a unit of frequency.
