Discuss the concept of frequency in sound waves... - SS2 Physics Waves and Sound Question

Frequency in sound waves refers to the number of complete oscillations or cycles of a sound wave that occur per unit of time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). The frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the pitch of the sound. Higher frequencies correspond to higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequencies result in lower-pitched sounds. This is because the frequency determines the rate at which the sound wave produces compressions and rarefactions in the medium. Our ears perceive these variations in frequency as differences in pitch.
