A shorter string will result in a higher pitch. This is why, on a violin or cello, for example, the pitch rises as you place your fingers farther and farther up the fingerboard.

What happens when you add thicker strings to a guitar?
The sound on the string will sound lower
Is it the string or the hole that makes a guitar sound?
The string makes the sound by transferring it's vibration to the top of the guitar. The top vibrates, and that is amplified by the body of the guitar. The round hole is to let that sound escape.
How does the sound in a guitar begin?
when you pluck the string(s)
Why would the sound of a guitar string sound louder when attached to the body of the guitar that when plucked alone?
When mounted on an acoustic guitar the body serves as a soundboard to amplify the vibration of the strings. On a unplugged solidbody electric guitar you will notice that the sound is very similar to the string mounted to the workbench.
What happens when you pluck a guitar string?
What happens when a guitar string makes a sound is that the string vibrates and hit radar waves and bounces back on to the string to make a audioble sound for the human ear. that is why electric guitars are plugged into speakers to make the sound louder for the audience to hear. the speaker enhances the sound

How does guitar make sound?
The guitar makes sound when you pluck a string. The string vibrates down to the base of the guitar and travels in the hole, coming out as a sound we call a note.
How does a guitar string's physical change produce sound?
The sound is produced by the vibration of the string.

The string makes the sound by transferring it's vibration to the top of the guitar. The top vibrates, and that is amplified by the body of the guitar. The round hole is to let that sound escape.
How is sound created on the guitar?
When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates. The vibration of the string causes pressure waves in the air. The pressure waves are called "sound".
Why is sound produced while playing the guitar?
The guitar string vibrates; this vibration is transmitted to the air as sound.
What do violins have to do with physics?
The sound a violin makes is caused by vibrations (oscillations) in the string that vibrate the air around it resulting in a longitudinal (sideways moving) sound wave at the same frequency as the string. At the two ends of the string are displacement nodes where the sting can't move, the centre of the string is an anti node where the potential displacement is maximum. When you shorten the string you shorten the length of the string and shorten the length of the wave that fits on the string and so change the frequency of the string changing it's pitch.

Plucking a guitar string is a physical change however the process produces sound?
The sound is produced by the vibration of the string.
Why does moving your finger up an down a guitar string change the pitch?
the frets make the guitar string make a different sound.
Why would the sound of a guitar string sound louder when attached to the body of the guitar that when plucked alone?
When mounted on an acoustic guitar the body serves as a soundboard to amplify the vibration of the strings. On a unplugged solidbody electric guitar you will notice that the sound is very similar to the string mounted to the workbench.
What are the factors that affect the sound of a vibrating guitar strings?
The factors of the sound of a guitar string are tuning the string (changes the tension; the tighter the higher) and pressing down on the fret (changes amount of string that vibrates; the shorter the higher)
