Pitch (whether a sound is shrill or deep) depends mostly on the:
ASpeed of sound in air
BLoudness in decibels
CAmplitude
DFrequency
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Frequency
Pitch is the highness or lowness of a sound
it is determined by frequency.
High frequency → high pitch (whistle, bird), low frequency
→ low pitch (drum, lion's roar).
Loudness depends on amplitude — and is a separate property.
