C. The wavelength is longer.
What is longitudinal wave?
A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it.
The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.
A longitudinal wave consists of a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions.
Thus, the wavelength is commonly measured as the distance from one compression to the next adjacent compression or the distance from one rarefaction to the next adjacent rarefaction.
Longitudinal waves move through a medium from the point of the disturbance in the form of compressions (where particles of the medium are bunched together) followed by rarefactions (where particles of the medium are farther apart).
In longitudinal waves, the distance from one compression to the next is the wavelength.
Therefore,
In longitudinal wave the wavelength is longer.
