1(ix)
Two sound waves X and Y have the same amplitude and the same wave pattern but their frequencies are 60 Hz and 120 Hz respectively, then
- (a)X will be shriller and Y will be grave
- (b)X will be grave and Y will be shriller
- (c)X will differ in quality than Y
- (d)X is louder than Y

X will be grave and Y will be shriller
Reason — The shrillness of a sound wave is directly proportional to its frequency, meaning that higher frequencies result in shriller sounds and lower frequencies result in grave sound.
