What happens to the pitch of the sound when the tension of the vocal cords increases?

Within the normal range of hearing, the higher the frequency (number of vibrations per second) the higher the perceived pitch. Frequency is a physical characteristic and pitch is a psychological characteristic.

pitch of the sound produced depends on the diameter, length, and tension in the vocal folds. when distance increases, the vocal folds tense and the pitch rises: when distance decreases, the vocal folds relax and pitch falls.

What happens to the wavelength of sound if the pitch increases from A440 to A880?
Alexis says ; The wavelength decreases.
If the pitch of the sound coming out from q speaker increases which is true about the sound wave?

What is the relationship between sound frequency and pitch?
When the frequency of a sound increases, a listener says the "pitch" has gone "up", but withouta bit of musical training, he has no way to describe how far.About the only way we have of associating "pitch" with a number is in terms of musical notes and intervals."Middle C" on the piano actually has several frequencies in it, but the main one is 256 Hz.Frequencies higher than 256 Hz correspond to piano keys above (to the right of) middle-C,and frequencies lower than 256 Hz correspond to piano keys lower (to the left).When the frequency of a sound is doubled, the listener perceives that the pitch has gone up by one "octave".When the frequency is lowered by half, the pitch goes down by one octave.
Does a triangle have a high pitch or a low pitch sound?
A triangle has high pitch.
What does pitch depend on?
What does pitch depend on?
How do your vocal cords produce different pitches?
By varying their tension, tighter = higher pitch.
A voice changes from high to low pitch in speaking by?
changing the tension on the vocal cords
What happens to the pitch when you move towards a a speaker?
The pitch increases when you move towards the speaker.
What happens when frequency increases?
The pitch is higher, and the wave has more energy
What happens to sound when you shorten a guitar string?
A shorter string will result in a higher pitch. This is why, on a violin or cello, for example, the pitch rises as you place your fingers farther and farther up the fingerboard.
What happens to the wavelength of sound if the pitch increases from A440 to A880?
Alexis says ; The wavelength decreases.
What happens to the pitch when you shorten the length of a vibrating cord keeping tension constant?
I'm assuming that it then has a higher frequency, making the pitch higher than before.
How are vocal sounds produced?
At the upper end of the trachea is the larynx. Sounds are produced when air is forced past two ligaments - the vocal cords - that stretch across the larynx. The pitch and volume of the sound produced varies with the amount of tension on the vocal cords and on the amount of air being forced past them,.
What is pitch controlled by?
It can be controlled by many things, but here are at least three: Length of the vocal cords. Thickness of the vocal cords. And stress on the vocal cords. That of course, it is the human body. If your talking about, say, a guitar amp, it's controlled by the little nob that says 'pitch' on it. -- J
The pitch of a person's voice varies with the length and thickness of the what?
vocal cords
Why does putting pressure on a string in a stringed instrument make a different sound?
"Pressure" is not what causes strings to produce sound. It's "tension" which does that. Adjusting the tuners either increases or decreases the tension, thus altering the audible pitch. Bending the strings also increases the tension. The sound is due to the vibration of the strings. Greater tension causes a shorter, higher frequency wavelength or amplitude which produces a higher pitch. Lesser tension causes a longer, lower frequency wavelength which produces a lower pitch. Depressing the strings onto the fingerboard effectively shortens the length of the string. The more a string is shortened, the shorter its vibrational wavelength and the higher its frequency will become. The location along the fingerboard at which the string is depressed serves the same function as does the nut when a open string is sounded.
Which factor would lower the pitch of a string?
The tension of the string. Less tension = lower pitch. This can be achieved by loosening the string or lengthening the string.
