Two waves A and B given out from a source are of amplitudes 2 : 3 and frequencies 3:2. Compare their loudness, pitch and quality.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"Loudness"prop"(amplitude)"^2" "therefore"loudness of A"/"loudnesss of B"=(2/3)^2=4/9`
`"Pitch" prop "frequency" " "therefore"Pitchof A"/"Pitch of B"=3/2`
Quality does not depend on amplitude and frequency, so quality ratio = 1 : 1.
