It is impossible to determine which has a higher frequency.

The frequency is the same in both waves.

A higher frequency sound wave...

has more compressions and rarefaction in a given amount of time

has fewer compressions and rarefaction in a given amount of time

A lower frequency sound wave...

has fewer compressions and rarefaction in a given amount of time

has more compressions and rarefaction in a given amount of time
