Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In a wind instrument, a column of air is set to vibrate and the pitch of the sound depends on the length of the column. A long column makes a low pitch sound while a short column makes high pitch sound.
Detailed explanation-2: -In wind instruments, pitch increases on the length of air column.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the longer the length of a vibrating air column, the smaller the pitch of the sound produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -The shorter the air column (that is, the shorter the height of the air in the bottle) the higher the frequency. And the higher the frequency the higher the perceived pitch.
