It depends on the thickness of the string. But the longer the string, the lower the note
How do measure the thickness of a piece of string?
around 0.8 mm
Why are the strings in a guitar of varying thickness?
The thickness of a guitar string affects the pitch produced by it. The thicker a string is, the deeper the tone. However, the reason that the pitch becomes higher when a fret is pressed down on the string is because the metal of the fret is stopping all vibrations beyond that fret, thus making the string "shorter." You might be talking about the gauge of a string. Strings have different gauges to better fit the preferences of the guitarist. The higher the gauge, the harder it is to break that string. However, a higher gauge makes the string harder to play and may hurt the fingers of newer guitarists.
Guitar playersrefer to the strings they use by the gauge?
Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
How do you produce sound out of string instruments?
Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like guitars and violins. The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.
Are plastic cups better for string telephones than metal cups?
I would say that plastic cups are better for string telephones because you cant get string through a metal cup.
When making a string telephone would thick or thin string work better?
It actually doesn't matter. What does matter is that the string is kept taught, so the voice is transmitted down the cord cleanly.
What 3 things can cause a string to have a deeper sound?

It depends on the age, type, and thickness of the materials.
