Frequency refers to the number of sound waves that pass a given point in a second, while pitch is the perceived highness or lowness of a sound. High-pitched sounds have high-frequency waves.

Here, we will calculate the frequencies of pendulum A and pendulum B.
The frequency of pendulum A (fA) is given by,
     Frequency(fA)=no. of oscillationstime taken
Frequency (fA)=155 

Frequency (fA)=3Hz     …………………….. (i)
Now, the frequency of pendulum B (fB) is given by
Frequency (fB)=123
Frequency (fB)=4 Hz     …………….......………… (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we can say (fB) > (fA)
Therefore, pendulum B has a higher frequency as compared to pendulum A.

Hence, pendulum B has a high pitch.
