Making a string longer with the same position where it's held(like a violin)

should make it less tense, making it vibrate slower, therefore lower.

Do shorter strings produce longer notes?

The reason that they create longer notes is because it vibrates faster, but not as big vibrations, which causes the pitch to be higher, and also can vibrate longer.


How do you make a string vibrate quickly?

Shorter strings vibrate at a higher frequency than longer strings.


How do boomwhackers form pitches?

Boomwhackers are made from different peices of wood, plastic, or other materials. These are cut into different sizes, normally by length. These lengths determine the piches the boomwhacker makes; a shorter boomwhacker will make a higher pitch than one that is longer, which makes a lower pitch. When you hit the boomwhacker, the acoustics in the longer tubes vibrate longer, making the pitch deeper. The acoustics in the shorter tubes vibrate for a shorter time, making the pitch higher.


Will a long string if plucked really hard will vibrate faster and thereby produce a higher pitch than a shorter string.?

Yes, a long string plucked hard will vibrate at a higher frequency, producing a higher pitch, but only if it is under the same tension and mass per unit length as a shorter string. Generally, shorter strings vibrate faster and produce higher pitches than longer strings, assuming similar tension and thickness. The speed of vibration is influenced by the string's length, tension, and mass, so the relationship is not solely determined by the plucking force.


How does the length of string effect the pitch?

The length of a string directly influences its pitch. A shorter string will vibrate faster, producing a higher pitch, while a longer string will vibrate slower, resulting in a lower pitch. This relationship is based on the fundamental physics of wave behavior and frequency.


Long and thick strings vibrate low and make a high pitch?

Actually, in general, longer and thicker strings vibrate at lower frequencies, resulting in lower pitches. Smaller and thinner strings vibrate at higher frequencies, producing higher pitches.


How does changing the length of the string change the vibration?

The longer the string - the slower the vibration (and lower the note produced). If you shorten the string - it vibrates faster, producing a higher-pitched note,


How does the length of an air column affect pitch?

The longer the air column in an instrument, the lower the pitch it will produce. This is because longer columns of air vibrate at lower frequencies, creating deeper tones. Shorter columns of air vibrate at higher frequencies, resulting in higher pitches.


What caused the vibration of a harp?

The plucking of the strings causes the sting to vibrate - the longer the string and smaller diameter the higher the tone produced.


If you pluck a string which is a deeper sound short string or a long string?

if you play the guitar youll see. because all you are doing when you play the guitar is making the strings shorter. the frets stop the string from vibrating past a certain point (that point being the fret) when you make a string shorter it vibrates at a higher frequency thus making the sound higher in pitch. hope his helps - Kyse


Are high sounds or low sounds easier to hear under water?

i think high sound because in water, it won't vibrate as much as in the air. Because the high sound vibrates more, the vibration will last longer and maybe faster i think high sound because in water, it won't vibrate as much as in the air. Because the high sound vibrates more, the vibration will last longer and maybe faster


What is it that the faster your work the longer it takes and the slower you work the faster you finish?

This is a riddle. The answer is "time." When you work faster, time seems to pass more slowly making the task feel longer. Conversely, when you work slower, time seems to pass more quickly making the task feel shorter.
