Pitch is determined by the frequency of the wave; intensity (loudness) is determined by the wave's amplitude.
The vibrating source moves in some kind of periodic way, and this periodic motion will have some given period. The period of a wave is the time it takes for one cycle of that wave, and the number of cycles of a given wave per unit of time is the frequency of that waveform.

The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
Which feature of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound?
That's the wave's frequency.
Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
What is the property of a wave that determines volume or loudness?
Amplitude of the wave decides the loudness Frequency of the wave stands for the pitch of the sound
The frequency of a sound wave determines what?
The rate at which the sound source is vibrating :) --> novanet answer
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
The frequency of its sound wave determines its what?
The sensation of a frequencies is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
What property of sound determines the pitch of a sound?
It is the frequency of a sound that determines its pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
What does the high frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch. So if there is high frequency it means that the sound will also be high pitched. If it is low frequency that means the sound will be low pitched.
What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
Is it the speed or the size of the vibration that changes the pitch of a sound?
Neither. Speed of sound waves doesn't change unless there is a change in the medium (substance through which the wave moves). the size of the vibration determines how loud the sound is. the length of the vibration is what determines the pitch.
