If you hear a higher pitch from a clarinet than from a saxophone, how do the frequencies of the sound waves from the clarinet compare to those of the saxophone?

A - The saxophone’s waves have a higher frequency than the clarinet.

B - The clarinet’s waves have a higher frequency than the saxophone.

C - The frequencies are the same; The difference is due to the horn.

D - Not enough information.

B

Explanation:

- The pitch of the soundwaves refers to the how high or low a note is played. It is the number of oscillation of the soundwaves made in the medium of air. Higher the number of oscillation the higher the note is played.

- The number of oscillations in a given length if wave is also called frequency. Since the pitch of clarinet' waves was higher we can conclude that the clarinet’s waves have a higher frequency than the saxophone.
