Which wave property determines $(a)$ loudness,$(b)$ pitch?
(N/A) The amplitude of sound waves determines loudness. $A$ louder sound has a greater amplitude,while a quieter sound has a smaller amplitude.
$(b)$ The frequency of sound waves determines the pitch of the sound. $A$ higher frequency results in a higher pitch,while a lower frequency results in a lower pitch.
$(b)$ The frequency of sound waves determines the pitch of the sound. $A$ higher frequency results in a higher pitch,while a lower frequency results in a lower pitch.
