Solution

Answer:

The pitch of a sound is the response of our ear which gives to the sound frequency. Pitch of sound depends on the frequency of vibration of the waves and if the frequency of vibration is higher, we say that the sound is shrill and has a high pitch. The guitar has a higher pitch because the particle’s vibration frequency is higher in guitar compared to a car horn.
