SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -When we tighten the strings of a guitar, its frequency increases. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of a sound. If the frequency increases, the pitch of the sound also increases. So, when we tighten the strings of a guitar, its pitch becomes higher.

Detailed explanation-2: -Guitar strings are tuned (tightened and loosened) using their tuning keys. Applying too much tension to a string tightly can raise it to the pitch of the next note, while loosening it can easily lower it the same amount. Increasing the tension raises the pitch.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tension refers to how tightly the string is stretched. Tightening the string gives it a higher frequency while loosening it lowers the frequency. Tightening the strings on a guitar increases the tensile force on the string.

Detailed explanation-4: -Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length).
