Thin strings in a guitar give a higher pitch than a thick string.

In a stretched string.

String-1 is connected with string-2. The mass per unit length in string-1 is mu_1 and the mass per unit length in string-2 is 4mu_1 . The tension in the strings is T. A travelling wave is coming from the left. What fraction of the energy in the incident wave goes into string-2 ?

A string of length 3l is connected to a fixed cylinder whose top view is shown in Fig. The string is initially slack. The other end of the string (connected to a marble) is moving at a constant velocity of 10 m//s as shown. The string will get stretched at some instant and impulsive tension occurs in the string. If hinge is exerting a force of 40000 N for 0.25 ms on the cylinder to bear up the impact of impulsive tension, then mark the correct statements. (Take string to be light, breaking tension of the string is 2x10^5N)

"The strings used in a sitar are of different thickness and different materials." Why?

A kite is flying at a height of 60m above the ground. The string attached to the kite is temporarily tied to a point on the ground. The inclination of the string with the ground is 60^@ . Find the length of the string assuming that there is no slack in the string.

Guess which has a higher pitch : a guitar or a car horn ?

The plucked string of a guitar has vibratory motion .

Statement-1 : Strings of a guitar have different diameters. Statement-2 : String with least diameter produce the lower notes.

Which one would have a lower pitch: a small thinner string under tension, or a long thicker string under not much tension?

Two strings (1) and (2) of equal thickness are made up of the same material. The length of the first string (1) is half that of the second string (2), while tension is (1) is twice that in the string, (2). Compare the velocities of the transverse waves on them.
