Expert Answer
As we know, for a sound wave the frequency of sound is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
i.e., 
And as we know pitch is a characteristic of sound waves which depends on its frequency as well as wavelength.
It allows distinguishing between two sound waves travelling with same speed and arriving our ears at the same time.
Hence for the given case, wavelength of 1.3 m sound wave will have higher pitch of sound compared to 2.6 m wavelength sound wave.
