Question 13 • Physical Science

Which conditions produce low pitches from a guitar string?

Answer
A
short strings, more tension, thick strings
B
long strings, less tension, thick strings
C
long strings, more tension, thin strings
D
short strings, less tension, thin strings

Explanation

A guitar string produces a lower pitch when it vibrates more slowly. Longer strings and strings with less tension vibrate more slowly, and thicker strings have more mass per unit length, which also lowers the pitch. So the correct choice is A: long strings, less tension, thick strings.
