Frequency: The number of waves formed by a sound in a specific period of time, measured in Hertz (Hz) Pitch: The relative highness or lowness of a sound, measured in frequency (Hz) Harmony: A combination of two or more notes that sound pleasing when played together
Concepts:
The human ear can typically hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Dogs can hear sounds up to 40,000 Hz and dolphins can hear sounds up to 100,000 Hz!
Did you know?
What are the differences between the frequency and the pitch of a wave?
Which unit is used to measure frequency?

- Watts (W)
What is pitch?
- How long or short the sound waves are
- How high or low a sound is perceived to be
- How loud or soft a sound is
Which animal can hear higher frequencies than humans?
