Question

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or decrease the tension of the string? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.
