उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
The pitch of a sound is proportional to its frequency. As the frequency of vibration increases, the pitch of the sound also increases and vice versa. A sound is said to be high pitched if its vibration frequency is high and is low pitched for a small vibration frequency.

What is an echo
What do you understand by the loudness of sound?
A person is standing at the seashore. An observer on the ship which is anchored in between a vertical cliff and the person on the shore fires a gun. The person on the shore hears two sounds, 2 seconds and 3 seconds after seeing the smoke of the fired gun. If the speed of sound in the air is 320 ms-1 then calculate:
1) the distance between the observer on the ship and the person on the shore.
2) the distance between the cliff and the observer on the ship.
The quality of a sound depends on the amplitude of wave.
