3. Why does your voice change pitch when you speak after inhaling the contents of a helium-filled balloon?
The helium decreases the effective length of your vocal cords, so their fundamental frequency is increased.
The helium increases the stiffness of your vocal cords, so their fundamental frequency is increased.
The speed of sound in helium is higher than the speed of sound in air, so the fundamental frequency of your throat and mouth cavity is increased.
The speed of sound in helium is lower than the speed of sound in air, so the frequency of the sound released into the air is increased.
Helium is a lighter gas than air, so the resulting buoyancy force causes the pitch to rise.
