Solution

The correct option is B False
Pitch is the sensation (brain interpretation) of the frequency of an emitted sound.
The faster the vibration of the source, the higher the frequency and higher the pitch.
Similarly, low pitch sound corresponds to low frequency. The pitch depends on the frequency of the wave.
Hence, the given statement is false.
