The sound of which vibration will have maximum shrillness (i.e., pitch) :
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B P
Pitch/shrillness is determined by the frequency of a wave, and frequency is the combination of wavelength and speed at which the wave is traveling. Sound has a constant speed of 340 meters per second, so wavelength dictates pitch. The shorter a sound's wavelength, the higher the pitch of that sound. Hence, the wave P has maximum shrillness because its frequency is maximum.
