The Longer tube is the Lower pitched note and the Smaller lengthed one is the Higher Pitched note. The same with any wind instrament.

How do a flute and organ pipes produce sound?
The shape and design of the pipes determine what the nature of their sound will be. There are two basic types of organ pipe; flue and reed. Flue pipes are, in a simplified explanation, whistles - no moving parts. Reed pipes have a brass tongue much like you would find in a harmonica. The tongue is mounted at the base of a pipe or resonator. Reeds and flues make distinctly different sounds. Pipes may be made of metal or wood. Think of all the different variations that one can make to a simple, cylindrical pipe; Wide, narrow, open or closed, flared towards the top or tapering towards the top, poke a hole in it, cut a slot, mount a little chimney on it. These make for the tonal variations between different types of pipes. Now, these my be further used in groups - Additive Synthesis. Furthermore, different stops speak at different pitch levels allowing for still more variation.
Does a large tuning fork make a higher note than a small tuning fork?
A large tuning fork makes a lower note and a smaller one makes a higher note. This is true with all instruments. Think about it: a string bass has much longer strings than a violin, and the bass is lower than the violin. In a piano or harp, the long strings produce the low notes and the short strings produce the high notes. Same with the length of pipes on a pipe organ. A low bassoon has a much longer length than a high little piccolo. Same with the brass instruments, a sousaphone or tuba has a much longer tube than a higher pitched trumpet.
Does a short or long instrument have a higher pitch?
A shorter instrument like the piccolo or the clarinet have a higher pitch as opposed to say a Tuba or a baritone saxophone which have a lower pitch.
What are the differences between piano and organ?
A reed organ has "free reeds" much like those in a harmonica. These have no resonators and require little space. A pipe organ uses pipes, which can be categorized in to two groups; Flues and reeds. Flues are simply whistles - no moving parts. reed pipes contain a brass tongue but unlike a reed organ they beat against a flat surface with an opening - the "shallot" upon which a resonator is mounted. The majority of pipes are flue pipes. Many small pipe organs have no reed pipes.
What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.

Does long wire have a lower or higher resistance than short wire?
A long piece of wire will have more resistance in it than a shorter one of the same material.
What is the largest pipe called in a pipe organ?
It depends on the organ. Each one is different. The largest are more than 64' long, but there are only two organs in existence with pipes that large. Each set of pipes, or ranks, has a theoretical number assigned to it to indicate the length of the lowest pipe of that rank. These numbers correspond only to the length of open pipes. Stopped pipes (closed at the top) sound approximately one octave lower than open pipes of the same length. Generally, the longest pipe in the average church organ is low C of the 16' Bourdon - which actually measures slightly more than 8'. Larger organs will sometimes have open ranks of that pitch, the lowest measuring around 17' to 18' - the extra foot or two being taken up by the lower portion - the "foot" and / or "false length" at the top on pipes that are "slot tuned" or facade pipes that need extra length for aesthetic purposes.
Do shadows grow shorter during the morning and lengthen during th afternoon?
When the sun is low at dawn, and low in the evening, the shadows are long. In the middle of the day, when the sun is higher, the shadows are shorter.
Why are shadows long at night?
Because the lights that cause them are relatively low. Lower lights ==> longer shadows. Higher lights ==> shorter shadows.
Are true statements about a 30-60-90 triangle?
.The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg The longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg.
Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?
Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short
Is petroleum transported long distances through pipes?
i would think so like on the ocean how they have those long pipes going to bottem to get some.
Which swings more in30 secondspendulum that is 20cm long or one that is 40cm long?
The shorter pendulum has the shorter period.
