To raise the pitch (frequency), put more tension on one end of the string. To lower the pitch, put less tension on one end of the string. For instance, on a guitar, tighten the string for a higher pitch. Loosen the string for a lower pitch. Additionally, if you have a guitar string already mounted and tensioned. You may place your finger in the middle of the string, and the pitch will go up one octave. Each time you halve a tensioned string, it produces a pitch one octave higher.

Explain how you could change the pitch and frequency of the sound of a guitar?
Loosening the string will LOWER the frequency, tightening it will RAISE the frequency.
If a vibrating anchored at each end is shortened in length with tension remaining constant one would notice an apparent pitch increase or decrease?
pitch increased
Does an ambulance siren's pitch really change - what if the ambulance was stationary?
Modern electronic sirens change amplitude and pitch. Older sirens produced tones that changed in amplitude (volume) but were changed in pitch by their motion relative to the listener: increasing in frequency as they approached and decreasing in frequency when they moved away. This is called the Doppler Effect.
What do you get when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere with each other?
The pitch does not change ( apex ) Your welcome boys and girls
What factors affect the pitch and loudness of the sound produced by the rubber bands?
wala
How you can change the length of vibrating string?
Moving your finger along the string will alter the length and the pitch of the sound produced.
How will the pitch of a string instrument change if the vibrating string is shortened?
It will change how the poo smells, poo plays a very important part in string instruments so be careful how much you change it! Understand?
What kind of pitch would a string vibrating quickly have?
a high pitch
How can you change the length of a vibration string?
Moving your finger along the string will alter the length and the pitch of the sound produced.
A vibrating string produces the highest pitch if its?
Correct answer= "tight and short"
Why are guitar strings farther apart at the body of the guitar?
They aren't. You might be talking about the frets, which has to do with the physics of a vibrating string. Cutting a string in half increases the pitch one octave, so you need to shorten the length of the string less as the string shortens to get the same change in pitch.
How does sound get a low pitch and a high pitch?
Pitch is determined by vibration frequency. A guitar string vibrating at 440 times a second will product a perfectly tuned "A" note. A string vibrating any faster than this will produce a higher pitch, and any slower will produce a lower pitch.
Why does the pitch change when you press the strings on a bass?
Because when you press on a string it shortens the vibrating part of the string, producing a higher tone. Shorter strings produce a faster vibration or frequency.
What 3 ways can you change pitch?
Replace the nitrogen & oxygen air with helium and oxygen. tighten the tension on the vibrating thing (e.g., string) make the vibrating thing smaller, thinner. (e.g., tuning fork)
What are the laws of vibrating strings?
Avibration in a string is a wave. Usually a vibrating string produces a sound whose frequency in most cases is constant. Therefore, since frequency characterizes the pitch, the sound produced is a constant note. Vibrating strings are the basis of any string instrument like guitar, cello, or piano. The speed of propagation of a wave in a string is proportional to the square root of the tension of the string and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear mass of the string.
