MHT CET 2026 Physics question
Which one of the following statements regarding pitch of sound is 'WRONG' ? (A) Pitch refers to sharpness of sound. (B) Tone refers to the single frequency of that wave. (C) High pitch sound need not be louder. (D) In general male sound is sharper than that of a female.
Answer: (A)
