Question

Women have shorter vocal cords, hence, their voice is high-pitched and shrill.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Women are said to have a shrill and high-pitched voice, whereas men produce a flat and low-pitched sound.
2. This is due to their shorter vocal cords. Thus, the pitch is directly related to frequency, and frequency is the number of vibrations in one second.
3. The higher the frequency, the more shrill and high-pitched is the sound produced.
4. For example, the sound produced by a flute is more shrill than the sound produced by a drum, tabla, or dholak.
5. The sound produced by a jet plane has a high pitch because of the high frequency of its rotating blades.

Hence, the given statement is True.
