Properties of Sound

Question 2 • Reed Fall 2026 Physical Science 2nd Semester (7th Hour)

Which instrument, a cello or a violin, produces a higher-pitched sound? Explain your answer.

Answer

Answer:

The violin produces a higher-pitched sound than the cello. This is because the violin is smaller and has shorter, thinner strings than a cello. Shorter and thinner strings vibrate at a higher frequency, which results in a higher pitch.
