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 if silly string is in your hair for a couple of hours?
nothing. just wash it out silly Willy.
What happens if air contains oxygen only?
we would have to shorten our breaths then die because of over dose yes thier is such thing as too much oxygen
What are synonyms of condensed?
consolidation, reduction, compression, contraction
What happens to the voice of a diver breathing in a mixture of oxygen and helium?
If helium replaces the nitrogen in normal air, the pitch of the diver's voice will increase considerably.
What kind of string needs to be used to form better crystals?
Plaster cine string
What happens to the frequency of a pendulum if you shorten the string?
it will moe faster
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 do violins have to do with physics?
The sound a violin makes is caused by vibrations (oscillations) in the string that vibrate the air around it resulting in a longitudinal (sideways moving) sound wave at the same frequency as the string. At the two ends of the string are displacement nodes where the sting can't move, the centre of the string is an anti node where the potential displacement is maximum. When you shorten the string you shorten the length of the string and shorten the length of the wave that fits on the string and so change the frequency of the string changing it's pitch.
What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
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 strings make a musical sound?
Because when you pluck/strum etc a string it vibrates, and this causes the sound. If you lengthen or shorten the string, the pitch changed (longer:lower, shorter:higher) Hope this helps!
Why does pressing the strings of guitar raise the high pitch?
The pitch of a guitar string will rise if you shorten it or tighten it. When you press a string, you hold it against a metal bar called a 'fret'. This effectively shortens the length where the string can vibrate, so the pitch is higher. You can also 'bend' the string by sliding it sideways up the fret. This tightens the string and the pitch will also rise, but you can vary the pressure making the note slide instead of changing suddenly.
What happens to a guiter string when it makes a sound?
It vibrates to the pitch it is tuned to.
How would you change the length of a string to create a higher pitch?
Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).
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.
When a string is plucked at one-third length what happens?
Its frequency would be higher. Imagine a guitar. When you put your finger higher up the fretboard, you shorten the string essentially. This has the effect of making the note higher
What effect does increasing the tension in a vibrating string have on the wavelength?
it will shorten it
