The period of the pendulum is (somewhat) inversely proportional to the square root of the length.  Therefore, the frequency, the inverse of the period, is (somewhat) proportional to the square root of the length.

What happens to a pitch if you shorten the string?

The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length. If you want to increase the frequency of a pendulum by a factor of 10, you make it 99% shorter.


What happens to the frequency of a pendulum if you shorten the string?

it will moe faster


How does the pendulum get affected by the length of string?

The shorter the string - the faster the oscillation.


What affects a pendulum?

The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.


In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?

multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.


How do you control frequency?

For a pendulum, or a child on a swing: Change the length of the pendulum or the swing-chains. For a guitar string: Change the tension (tune it), or the length (squeeze it into a fret). For an electronic oscillator: Change the piezo crystal, or change a capacitor or inductor for one of a different value.


Does the length of the string matter for a pendulum to go faster?

yes it does because the shorter the string is the faster it will go (:


If you change the length of the string will it make the frequency increase or decrease?

increase the length of the string means decrease the tension in the string, therefore as the tension decreases the frequency will drop due to loosen of the string.


What variable effects the frequency of a pendulum?

The color of the weight at the end of the string. (That's the "bob".)


What factors decide the frequency of vibration of plucked string?

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension and density. These properties are- When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.
