The number of oscillations completed by a vibrating body in one second is called frequency. The unit of frequency is hertz. It is denoted by Hz. If a vibrating body makes 20 oscillations in a second, we say that its frequency is 20 Hz. The human voice can produce frequency between 60 Hz and 13,000 Hz. It is interesting that a human ear can hear sound of frequency between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. A string musical instrument was first plucked with a force of smaller magnitude and then with a force of greater magnitude. In which case would the instrument produce a louder sound?
