Read the background information on the left. Define pitch.

How is pitch related to frequency?

Click VIDEO in the TOP RIGHT CORNER and watch how an oscilloscope works. What do you notice about the line shown the oscilloscope as a musical note is played? (a line appears is not enough, tell me about how it changes!)

Which of the handle positions made the instrument the LONGEST?

Which of the above handle positions made the instrument the SHORTEST?

Complete the following statement: (higher or lower)
•The LONGER the instrument, the _____________________ the PITCH.

Complete the following statement: (higher or lower)
•The SHORTER the instrument, the ______________________ the PITCH.

What happened to the WAVELENGTH of the wave as the instrument got smaller?

What happened to the FREQUENCY of the wave as the instrument got bigger?

What happened to the PITCH of the sound as the FREQUENCY DECREASED?

Complete the following statement:
•The LOWER the FREQUENCY, the _____________________ the PITCH.

Complete the following statement:
•The HIGHER the FREQUENCY, the ______________________ the PITCH
