Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Shorter strings create what type of sound?
A
softer
B
louder
C
higher pitched
D
lower pitched
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch .

Detailed explanation-2: -Each string has a different pitch. A short, thin, tight string vibrates faster than a longer, thicker, looser string. So the shorter string makes a higher-pitched sound.

Detailed explanation-3: -The shorter the effective length of the string, the higher the pitch of the note produced. Alternatively, when tuning a violin, the player tightens or loosens the strings to alter the tension. Increasing the tension causes the note produced to be higher in pitch.
