    A)  amplitudes       

    B)  intensities

    C)  volumes                             

    D)  pitches

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

      The pitch of a sound wave is its highness or lowness. It is directly proportional to the frequency of the sound wave. From the graphical form of the sound waves it can be observed that the numbers of cycles or crests/troughs in the two waves are different. Therefore, the frequencies of the waves are different. Hence, the pitches of the two sound waves are also different. The correct answer is D.
