If you were measuring a lower-pitched sound wave, you would measure a. more compressions per second b. fewer compressions per second c. a greater amount of compression of the air d. a smaller amount of compression of the air

B

To measure a lower-pitched sound wave, you would measure fewer compressions per second. Pitch relates to frequency by measuring how many times a second the particles vibrate. Therefore, the lower-pitched sounds, the fewer compression waves or sound waves are produce because low-frequency sounds have greater distance between each wave.

Moreover, the frequency of a wave is measured as the number of complete back-and-forth vibrations of a particle of the medium per unit of time. The universal unit for frequency used is the Hertz (abbreviated Hz), where 1 Hertz = 1 vibration/second.

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
