Quick check from College Physics, 17.2 Speed of Sound, Frequency, and Wavelength
You observe two musical instruments that you cannot identify. One plays high-pitch sounds and the other plays low-pitch sounds. How could you determine which is which without hearing either of them play?
Answer it in your own words before you look.
Compare their sizes. High-pitch instruments are generally smaller than low-pitch instruments because they generate a smaller wavelength.
How did it go?
