Question

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

If a musical instrument such as a trumpet or flute is “flat”, should the pipe be lengthened or shortened?

Answer 1

Shortened

Step-by-step explanation:

A longer pipe will have a longer wavelength, and therefore a lower frequency.

A shorter pipe will have a shorter wavelength, and therefore a higher frequency.

A "flat" note has a low frequency, so the pipe should be shortened.

The same phenomenon can be demonstrated with guitar strings. The longer the string, the lower the pitch.

Answer 2

It should be shortened. hope this helps!:)
