Answer

A guitar has a higher pitch than a car horn.

Reason:

  • Pitch is determined by the frequency of sound waves.
  • A guitar produces high-frequency vibrations (especially in the thinner strings), resulting in a higher pitch.
  • A car horn produces lower-frequency sound waves, making its sound deeper and lower in pitch.

Thus, a guitar has a higher pitch than a car horn because it generates sound at a higher frequency.
