alleryStart learning →Shorter, lighter-per-metre string; same tension. Fundamental pitch?
AUnchanged from before
BIndeterminate in pitch
CLower than before
DHigher than before
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Higher than before
Both shortening and reducing linear mass density raise fundamental frequency, so the pitch rises.
