Question
orption of sound waves
speed affects pitch
the pitch of a sound describes how high or low the sound
seems to a person. examine the guitar strings in the
photograph. each string produces a different pitch when it
is plucked or bowed.
- which properties of the strings do you think explains the
different pitch that each string produces when it vibrates?
a. the length of the string
b. the thickness of the string
c. the material of the string
check answer
Guitar strings on the same instrument share the same vibrating length when played in open position and are typically made of similar material blends. Thicker strings have greater mass per unit length, which slows their vibration frequency. Pitch is determined by vibration frequency, so thicker strings produce lower pitches, while thinner strings produce higher pitches, matching the visible difference in the guitar string image.
