Explain the two ways by which the pitch of the sound generated by a stretched string can be changed.

     

${\huge{\textsf{\textbf{Answer :}}}}$

     

Frequency or pitch of vibration of a stretched string can be changed by varying the

• tension in the string: If the string of the instrument is under high tension, then the pitch of the note produced on plucking the string will be high i.e. the note will be shriller because frequency of vibration of the string will be high.

• thickness of the string: If the string of the instrument is thin, then the pitch of the note produced on plucking the string will be high as frequency of vibration of the string will be high.
