In general, the voice of a woman has a higher frequency than that of a man.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
true

The frequency of vibration determines the shrillness or pitch of any sound. If the frequency of vibration is low, we say that the sound has low pitch. If the frequency of vibration is high, we say that the sound has a high pitch. In the case of women, the sound produced is high pitched. So, voice of women has a higher frequency than that of men.
