Characteristics of a sound wave. Since sound is a wave, we can relate the properties of sound to the properties of a wave. The basic properties of sound are: pitch, loudness and tone. Pitch. The frequency of a sound wave is what your ear understands as pitch. A higher frequency sound has a higher pitch, and a lower frequency sound has a lower pitch.
To describe a wave, you need to know a few of its properties. One property is its wavelength. For a sound wave, this corresponds to how high or how low a note sounds. For a light wave, it corresponds to the colour of light. Another property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave. One of the basic characteristics of a wave is its wavelength. This is the distance from one peak, or crest, to the next.
