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 will be 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.
