Question

The pitch of the sound produced by a stretched string gets higher as the tension .....................

• A. Increases
• B. decrease
• C. same
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increases

Pitch depends on string length and string tension.

1. If the string's mass per unit length remains constant, for longer string, high tension will produce high pitch.
2. If the string's length remains constant, for heavier string, the higher the tension will generate higher pitch.
