How are the pitch and frequency of sound related?

In: Thunderstorms and Lightning [Edit categories]

Answer:

Pitch and Frequency are basically the same thing, but frequency can be quantified more easily. (Quantified is assigning a value). A piano may play a pitch of C, but the frequency could be 512 hertz. C is the pitch. 512 Htz is the frequency. The relationship is that as the pitch of a sound goes up the Frequency goes up too.
