Question 111

Two sound waves, A A\,A and BBB, are detected by a microphone. The amplitude and frequency of each wave are shown in the table:

amplitude / mmfrequency / HzA1.5250B0.8500 \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline & \text{amplitude / mm} & \text{frequency / Hz} \\ \hline \text{A} & 1.5 & 250 \\ \hline \text{B} & 0.8 & 500 \\ \hline \end{array} AB​amplitude / mm1.50.8​frequency / Hz250500​​

How does sound B B\,B compare with sound AAA?

A

BBB is louder and has a higher pitch.

B

BBB is louder and has a lower pitch.

C

BBB is quieter and has a higher pitch.

D

BBB is quieter and has a lower pitch.
