Andrew notices that when he presses the string of his guitar down at the red line, the pitch is higher than when he presses down at the blue line. What can explain this phenomenon?

• Pressing down on the string at the red line causes interference which leads to a change in pitch.

• Pressing down on the string at the red line shortens the string and makes it vibrate slower, which increases the pitch.

• Pressing down on the string at the red line shortens the string and makes it vibrate faster, which increases the pitch.

According to the graph above, what can she determine about the effect of water temperature on the speed of sound?

• A. Water temperature does not affect the speed at which sound waves will travel through it.

• B. As water temperature increases, sound waves travel slower.

• C. As water temperature increases, sound waves travel faster.

• D. As water temperature decreases, sound waves travel faster.
