Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The pitch of the sound is defined as the characteristic of sound which is used for differentiating between shrill and flat sounds. On the other hand, the number of vibrations made by a particle of the medium in one second is called frequency. If a sound's frequency rises, its pitch rises as well. When a body vibrates, the sound is produced, and it reaches us via the vibrations of the particles of the surrounding medium. The frequency of a note determines its pitch. Even though two notes are sounded on the same instrument, their pitches will differ if their vibrations are of different frequencies.
