Question

A sound’s pitch is how high or low it is. The rate of vibration determines the pitch. High pitches vibrate quickly, and low pitches vibrate more slowly. When we look at the sound wave produced by a vibration, the frequency shows us the pitch. Frequency is the rate at which a wave occurs. If a pitch is high, it vibrates quickly and has a high frequency.

Based on this passage, what is the relationship between a vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?

A
The longer the vibration lasts, the higher the frequency of the sound wave

B
The faster the vibration, the lower the frequency of the sound wave

C
The faster the vibration, the higher the frequency of the sound wave

D
The longer the vibration lasts, the shorter the frequency of the sound wave

The correct answer is:

C
The faster the vibration, the higher the frequency of the sound wave.

This is consistent with the passage, which states that high pitches, which correspond to quick vibrations, have high frequencies.
