Answer 1

Frequency and pitch are directly related in terms of perception. As frequency increases, the perceived pitch also increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perception of frequency is called pitch. Most of us have excellent relative pitch and can discriminate between two sounds if their frequencies differ by 0.3% or more. Pitch perception is directly related to frequency and is not greatly affected by other physical quantities such as intensity.
