Wave Mechanics Question 1105
Question: Two waves having sinusoidal waveforms have different wavelengths and different amplitude. They will be having
[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.
