The correct response is:
**sound A, because it has a higher frequency.**
To determine which sound has a higher pitch, we need to remember that pitch is related to frequency. The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Frequency} = \frac{\text{Speed of Sound}}{\text{Wavelength}} \]
Assuming both sounds are traveling at the same speed in the same medium:
- For sound A with a wavelength of 5 meters, it has a higher frequency.
- For sound B with a wavelength of 10 meters, it has a lower frequency.
Since sound A has a higher frequency, it will produce a higher pitch.
