What is the relationship between frequency and pitch?

• Lower frequency corresponds to a higher pitch.

• Frequency and pitch are unrelated.

• Higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch.

• Frequency affects only the volume, not the pitch.

What is the definition of amplitude?

• The amount of space that a substance or object occupies.

• The maximum displacement of a vibration, measured from the position of equilibrium.

• The rate at which an object covers distance.

• The force exerted by a mass due to gravity.
