    Two waves having sinusoidal waveforms have different wavelengths and different amplitudes. They will be having :

    A)  same pitch and different intensity

    B)  same quality and different intensity

    C)  different quality and different intensity

    D)  same quality and different pitch

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Pitch is that characteristic of sound which enables one to distinguish between a shrill sound and a grave sound. It depends upon the frequency of the source. While intensity of sound is proponional to the square of amplitude \[(I=k{{a}^{2}})\], hence different amplitudes have different frequencies. Also quality depends upon the number, order and relative intensity of the overtone.
