Cycles per second describe this aspect of sound which can be affected by mass and stiffness.
What is frequency?
100
The pitch of a sound is described physically using hertz while the loudness of a sound is described physically using this.
What is the decibel?
200
What degree does an Audiologist need in order to practice?
What is an AuD
200
The difference between the softest sound we can hear and the point where it is so loud it is uncomfortable.
What is dynamic range?

Long wavelengths have what type of pitch and frequency? Short wavelengths have what type of frequency and pitch?
What is long waves have low frequency and low pitch Short waves have high frequency and high pitch?
