[BHU 2005]
Options:
A) Same pitch and different intensity
B) Same quality and different intensity
C) Different quality and different intensity
D) Same quality and different pitch
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
The pitch depends upon the frequency of the source.
As the two waves have different amplitude therefore they having different intensity.
While quality depends on number of harmonics/overtone produced and their relative intensity.
Assuming that their frequencies are the same.
