The pitch of sound is a characteristic that allows to differentiate between high-pitched and low-pitched sounds. It is directly related to the frequency of the sound wave. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. In addition, the pitch is also influenced by the speed of sound in the medium through which it propagates. Considering this information, which of the alternatives below best describes the relationship between pitch and the speed of sound?

A altura do som não está relacionada com a velocidade do som.

Quanto maior a velocidade do som, mais grave é o som produzido.

Quanto menor a velocidade do som, mais agudo é o som produzido.

Quanto maior a velocidade do som, mais agudo é o som produzido.

The pitch of sound is inversely proportional to the speed of sound in the medium through which it propagates.
