Answer: 1st wave

Explanation:

The higher the frequency of the wave , higher the pitch.

To find the highest-pitched sound we should find the wave with the highest frequency.

wave's frequency is the number of cycles that are completed in a certain amount of time

If we consider the number of oscillations in a given time of 0.01 seconds , wave 1 has the highest number.

therefore wave 1 has the highest frequency , so the pitch.
