4 x sound wave diagrams

Which of these diagrams shows...

4. A loud, high pitched sound?

5. A quiet high frequency sound?

7&8. In an experiment to measure the speed of sound, a student bangs together 2 wooden blocks. Another student listens out for the echo from the wall.

The wall is 100 m away.

The echo returns to the students after a delay of 0.6 seconds.
