Question

Tighter string of an instrument produces

• A. Higher pitch
• B. Lower pitch
  
• C. Louder sound
  
• D. Softer sound

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Higher pitch

1. Greater tension of the string means greater frequency, which means greater pitch.
2. When we tighten the string of an instrument we are increasing the tension on the string. This increases the frequency and thus higher the pitch.

The correct option is A.
