Does the medium in which a string vibrates affect its pitch?

Yes, it does. Denser media will produce lower tones, whereas less dense media will produce higher tones. A clear example of this is the change in the pitch of the voice that occurs when people speak after inhaling helium. I disagree. The same pitch can be obtained through any type of medium by shortening or lengthing the string to compensate for the density of the medium in which the string resides. I believe your query should be in regard to the tone which is dictated by the medium, the pitch is dictated by the intervention.Of course you could compensate, if the medium did alter the pitch. My question was, does it (all other factors remaining unchanged)? On a Scientific American site a professor stated that it does not. The helium voice is a change of timbre, but the fundamental frequency remains the same. Another scientist told me that the helium voice is not comparable to a vibrating string anyway. Can anyone find an experimental report?

Why are some volcanoes more active than others?

some volcanoes are more active than others because some volcanoes lie on plate boundaries that move frequently which adds more pressure to the magma chamber where all of the lava is stored. Other volcanoes are formed but do not gain much pressure because they have been formed slowly or have errupted many times before and do not gain any more pressure. Some volcanoes are temperarily dormant which means they are not active. Some volcanoes have been dormant for hundreds of years because there is not enough pressure for the volcano to errupt. Hot countries may have an affect or volcanoes that started off very close to the epi-center of the earth, that has lava flowing up to the volcanoes frequently from there, which may set them off more. I hope this has answered your question.

How does a earthquake generate a tsunami?

An earthquake can cause two sides of a tectonic plate to slip, even under the water, which causes the force of water to rush downwards, then upwards, which then forms a large wave, getting bigger every second building up from all the water.

Relationship between the frequency of the overtones and the and the fundamental frequency?

Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic.

2nd harmonic = 1st overtone.
3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone.
4th harmonic = 3rd overtone.
5th harmonic = 4th overtone.
6th harmonic = 5th overtone.

Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".
