Sound Waves
Sounds that move through air or different mediums and become audible when they arrive at an individual's or animal's ear.
Greater-Amplitude
Pertains to signals or waves with higher magnitude or intensity, often used in the context of physical or biological measurements.
Longer
Describes something that extends for a greater length of time or distance than something else or than average.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The lower notes on a piano have lower frequencies (fewer vibrations per second) compared to the high notes. Longer wavelengths (distance between the peaks of the waves) are associated with lower frequencies. Therefore, the low notes produce longer sound waves.
