While traveling in the same medium, sound A has a wavelength of 5 meters, while sound B

Question

has a wavelength of 10 meters. Which sound will have a higher pitch? (1 point)
sound A, because it has a higher frequency
sound B, because it has a higher frequency.
sound A, because it has a lower frequency
sound B, because it has a lower frequency

Answer 1

Sound A will have a higher pitch because it has a higher frequency. The wavelength of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, so a shorter wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency and therefore a higher pitch.
