Question 38

A tuning fork produces a sound in air. Some of the sound passes into a ceramic tile, meeting its surface at an angle.

Which statement about the pitch of the sound in the tile is correct?

[1]
A

The pitch becomes lower because some energy is reflected at the surface.

B

The pitch stays the same because the sound does not change direction.

C

The pitch becomes higher because the tile is more rigid than the air.

D

The pitch stays the same because the frequency is set by the tuning fork.
