The pitch of "what heading"

Hello,

I have a naive idea that the pitch of "what" is lower than "heading".

In What heading does this come under?, "what heading" shows the thing in heading.

So, the thing is decided by heading and that the pitch of what must be lower than heading.

I need your suggestion and thank you for your help.
