KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

As we know, frequency (f) = Hence, frequency of a desired note can be obtained by altering the following (a) Length of the string In order to increase the frequency, the length of the string should be decreased. (b) Radius (thickness) of the string In order to increase the frequency, the radius of the string should be decreased. (c) Tension in the string In order to increase the frequency, the tension in the string should be increased.
