The frequency of a pure tone is determined by?
the amplitude of the vibrator
friction acting on the vibrator
the spectrum of the pure tone
the intensity of the pure tone
the number of complete cycles occurring per second
If two tones of the same frequency and intensity are 180 degrees out of phase:
their intensities are additive and resonance occurs
a different tone will be heard
no sound will be heard
their collective intensity will be half the original intensity
the frequency will be halved
Pitch is to frequency as:
loudness is to frequency
loudness is to intensity
loudness is to wavelength
loudness is to pitch
loudness is to spectrum

vibrator, medium, listener
vibrator, medium, force
vibrator, medium, force, listener
vibrator, force, listener
force, medium, listener
