Question

Use the images to answer the question.

The images show the pressure waves created by a passing sound source.

The compactions and rarefactions are at a larger distance in the pressure wave in the air for a low-pitched sound than in a high-pitched sound. Also, the number of compactions and rarefactions is more in a high-pitched sound.

Which image corresponds to what moment in time?

The low-pitched sound corresponds to the sound source getting closer; its wavelength is longer. The high-pitched sound corresponds to the sound source moving away; its wavelength is shorter.

The correct response is:

"The low-pitched sound corresponds to the sound source moving away; its wavelength is longer. The high-pitched sound corresponds to the sound source getting closer; its wavelength is shorter."

This is consistent with the concepts of sound waves, where low-pitched sounds have longer wavelengths and higher-pitched sounds have shorter wavelengths. When a sound source moves away, the wavelengths stretch out, leading to a lower frequency (lower pitch), while as it approaches, the wavelengths compress, resulting in a higher frequency (higher pitch).
