Before playing the orchestra in a musical concert, a sitarist tries to adjust the tension and pluck the string suitably. By doing so, he/she is adjusting
- Afrequency of the sitar string with the frequency of other musical instruments
- Bamplitude of sound
- Cintensity of sound
- DMore than one of the above
- ENone of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) frequency of the sitar string with the frequency of other musical instruments
Explanation
Adjusting the tension and plucking of a sitar string changes its frequency (pitch) of vibration.
This tunes the string's frequency to match the frequency of other musical instruments in the orchestra.
Amplitude and intensity relate to loudness, not pitch matching, so they are distractors.
