Here's why:
* Frequency refers to the number of vibrations or cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
* Pitch is how high or low a sound is perceived to be.
* Higher frequency means more vibrations per second, resulting in a higher pitch.
* Lower frequency means fewer vibrations per second, resulting in a lower pitch.
Think of a guitar string: a thinner, tighter string vibrates faster (higher frequency) and produces a higher pitch. A thicker, looser string vibrates slower (lower frequency) and produces a lower pitch.
