While traveling in the same medium, sound A has a wavelength of 5 meters, while sound B has a wavelength of 10 meters. Which sound will have a higher pitch?(1 point)

Question

Responses

sound A, because it has a lower frequency
sound A, because it has a lower frequency

sound A, because it has a higher frequency
sound A, because it has a higher frequency

sound B, because it has a higher frequency.
sound B, because it has a higher frequency.

sound B, because it has a lower frequency

Answer 1

sound B, because it has a higher frequency.

The frequency of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength - the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Therefore, sound B with a wavelength of 10 meters will have a higher pitch compared to sound A with a wavelength of 5 meters.
