The correct Answer is:
2
The pitch of a sound is de termined by the frequency of vibration of the sound waves. So higher the frequency the higher is the pitch. Frequency is often measured in units called Hertz (Hz). If a sound source vibrates at 100 vibrations per second, it has a frequency of 100 Hertz.
