Which sound will most likely have the highest pitch? A bass drum (150 Hz) A distant thunder (90 Hz) A tuba (60 Hz) A whistle (1000 Hz)
Added by Enrique C.
Step 1
Higher frequency means higher pitch, and lower frequency means lower pitch. Now, let's compare the frequencies of the given sounds: - A bass drum has a frequency of 150 Hz. - A distant thunder has a frequency of 90 Hz. - A tuba has a frequency of 60 Hz. - A Show more…
