Physics Question on Electromagnetic waves
Quality depends on:
A
intensity
B
loudness
C
timbre
D
frequency
Answer
frequency
Explanation
Solution
The quality of a musical sound is that characteristic which distinguishes between two sounds of the same frequency and same intensity but emitted by different musical instruments. The quality of sound depends upon the number, order and relative intensity of the overtones. Hence, quality of sounds produced by different instruments differ from instrument to instrument. Therefore, quality of sound is dependent on frequency.
