To solve the question regarding the effect of closing the holes near the mouth of a flute on the pitch of the note produced, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between Pitch and Frequency - The pitch of a sound is directly related to its frequency. Higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. **Hint:** Remember that pitch and frequency are directly proportional. ### Step 2: Consider the Effect of Closing Holes on the Flute ...
