MCQ

To raise the pitch of a stringed musical instrument the player can

A
Loosen the string
B
Tighten the string
C
Shorten the string
✓
Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Both $(b)$ and $(c)$

d
(d) Higher pitch means higher frequency

Frequency of a stringed system is given by

$n = \frac{p}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} \Rightarrow n \propto \frac{{\sqrt T }}{l}$

Hence, to get higher frequency (higher pitch) tension should be increase and length should be shorten.
