A) tuba is louder
B) piccolo is louder
C) tuba has a higher pitch
D) piccolo has a higher pitch
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Here, the student needs to examine the relationship between the frequency of a sound wave and its pitch. The pitch of a sound wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The crests and troughs of the sound waves produced through a piccolo are closer to each other, while the crests and troughs of the sound waves produced through a tuba are far apart. As a result, the frequency of the sound produced through a piccolo is more than that produced through a tuba. Hence, the sound produced through a piccolo has a higher pitch than that produced by a tuba. The correct answer is D.You need to login to perform this action.
