The correct answer is frequency.
The quantity that must also be higher in the sound with a higher pitch compared to a bell is the frequency.
To understand this, let's break it down:
1. Pitch refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound. When a sound has a higher pitch, it means it sounds higher in frequency.
2. Frequency is the number of complete vibrations, or cycles, of a sound wave that occur in a given time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
3. A bell typically produces a sound with a lower pitch, which means it has a lower frequency. In contrast, a sound with a higher pitch will have a higher frequency.
So, if you encounter a question asking which quantity must be higher in a sound with a higher pitch compared to a bell, the correct answer would be frequency. The amplitude, wavelength, and speed may or may not be different, but the frequency is the decisive factor for determining pitch.
