Image: Summary: Pitch is the highness or lowness of the sound created whereas volume is how loud or quiet a sound is. Frequency is how many 'cycles' of a wave occur in one second, the amplitude is how large a wave is from the middle to the crest and the wavelength is the measure from crest to crest. You can tell that the frequency of a wave is higher or lower based on how close together every single wave is. Pitch is related to frequency because the higher the frequency the higher the pitch is, and vice versa. With the different volumes, you can tell that the height of the waves differs, as well. The louder note has a higher amplitude, whereas the softer note has a lower amplitude. Backward-Looking: What problems did you encounter while you were working on this piece? How did you solve them? The major problem we encountered while working on this project would be tuning the instrument. Since my group and I used various materials as our bars, some thicker than others...
