Problem

Sound wave X is represented on a distance–displacement graph with the distance between two consecutive compressions measured as 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m}. Sound wave Y, drawn on the same scale, shows this separation as 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m}. Both waves travel in the same medium. Which wave has the higher pitch? Give a brief reason.
