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.

What effect does increasing the tension in a vibrating string have on the wavelength?
it will shorten it
The longer the vibrating string or the longer the vibrating column of air?
the lower the sound
Vibrating part of Ektara?
Ektara is a string instrument. Therfore the string of the instrument virates and this produces sound.
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.
What is the vibrating part of lyre?
A lyre is a stringed instrument, so the vibrating part is a string originally made from catgut.
What effect does increasing the tension in a vibrating string have on the wavelength?
it will shorten it
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)
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 effect does tension have on pitch?
The tension effects how much the string is capable of vibrating. Different vibrations create different length sound waves so the sound will change at different tensions.
How can you change the pitch produced by a vibrating string?
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.
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 are the factors that affect the sound of a vibrating guitar strings?
The factors of the sound of a guitar string are tuning the string (changes the tension; the tighter the higher) and pressing down on the fret (changes amount of string that vibrates; the shorter the higher)
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.
Why a sitarist adjust the tension in the string of sitar?
The frequency of a string depends on its length, linear density, and tension. Most musical instruments are designed to make it easy to quickly change the tension; this will tune the instrument, or rather, the corresponding string.

Law of vibrating strings?
The law of vibrating strings is the vibrational mode of a string that is stretched. The wavelength is twice the length of the string.
