the simplified answer is that when the string is plucked or the bow is pulled across the string(s), it cause the string(s) to vibrate. The length and thickness of the string as well as the resonance of the instrument determines the wavelength and therefore determines the pitch of the sound produced. other factors that can affect the sound are the material the string is made of as well as the material of the instrument itself.
