The length and the sound of a barClick here for student and other user informationClick here for teacher information

Sound the bars one after the other!
Compare the sounds you could hear!

What is the connection between the length of the bar and the pitch of the fundamental sound you could hear?

A shorter bar gives a higher sound as it oscillates at a higher frequency.
A longer bar presents more inertia towards oscillation, so its sound is deeper having a lower frequency.
