“During the filling of an empty bottle with water, the pitch of the sound heard goes on changing." Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The frequency of the sound heard, depends on the length of the air-column inside the bottle. As water is poured, the length of the air-column decreases and hence the pitch of the sound heard changes.
