What aspect of an instrument does a musician control to play a particular musical note? A. frequency of the sound wave B. length of the air column or string C. resonant frequency of the standing wave D. velocity of the sound wave **:/ Thanks!! :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm pondering...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think the frequency of the emitted sound, since the musical notes are identified by their respective frequencies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so would it be choice A?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that if we are playing a guitar, in order to produce different frequencies, I have to vary the length of the strings of the guitar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh so it should be choice B?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! Option B is the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yay!! thanks:))

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks!! :)
