Final answer:

The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch. Higher frequency sounds have higher pitches, while lower frequency sounds have lower pitches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a sound wave is what your ear understands as pitch. A higher frequency sound has a higher pitch, and a lower frequency sound has a lower pitch. For example, the chirp of a bird has a high pitch, while the roar of a lion has a low pitch.
