Problem

Two sound waves P and Q are drawn on separate but identically scaled distance–amplitude graphs. In wave P, the distance between successive compressions is 0.60 m0.60\,\text{m}, whereas in wave Q it is 0.40 m0.40\,\text{m}. Both waves travel through the same medium. Which statement about their pitch is correct? a) Wave P has a higher pitch than wave Q b) Both waves have the same pitch c) Wave Q has a higher pitch than wave P d) Pitch comparison is not possible with the given data
