Which statement correctly describes the characteristics of the waves used by advanced canes and dolphins? A. The higher the pitch, the higher the amplitude. B. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency. C. The lower the pitch, the lower the amplitude. D. The lower the pitch, the shorter the wavelength.
Question
Which statement correctly describes the characteristics of the waves used by advanced canes and dolphins? A. The higher the pitch, the higher the amplitude. B. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency. C. The lower the pitch, the lower the amplitude. D. The lower the pitch, the shorter the wavelength.
Solution
The correct statement is B. "The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency." This is because pitch is directly related to frequency. Higher pitched sounds have a higher frequency (more waves in a given time period) and lower pitched sounds have a lower frequency (fewer waves in a given time period). This is true for all types of waves, including those used by advanced canes and dolphins.
