Why the tone of your guitar changes when you switch between the different pickups?
A plucked string has many modes of vibration which all occur simultaneously; most of these correspond to overtones or harmonics of the fundamental frequency of the vibrating string. Near the center of the string, the fundamental frequency has the largest amplitude; a pickup at 1/4 of the length of the string will be at the point of maximum amplitude of the second harmonic and at a null point for the fourth harmonic. This position gives a strong, full, mellow tone. A pickup at 1/8 of the length of the string (closer to the bridge) will be at the point of maximum amplitude of the third harmonic, and will also get a lot of the fourth and fifth harmonics. This gives a much brighter tone. The change in tone caused by plucking the string close to the neck versus close to the bridge is based on the same idea: bringing out the harmonics in the string in different proportions. See link to a related article, below.
If you pluck a string which is a deeper sound short string or a long string?
if you play the guitar youll see. because all you are doing when you play the guitar is making the strings shorter. the frets stop the string from vibrating past a certain point (that point being the fret) when you make a string shorter it vibrates at a higher frequency thus making the sound higher in pitch. hope his helps - Kyse

What Is the classification for an instrument that produces sound by vibrating a string or strings stretched between two point?
That would be a stringed instrument.
Why If you very lightly touch a guitar string at its midpoint you can hear an octave one above the fundamental string?
There is a very simple reason for this, This is actually a deliberate technique known as harmonics/ overtones. When a guitar string is plucked, the string vibrates at several frequencies. The vibration along the entire length of the string is known as the fundamental, while vibrations occurring between points along the string (known as nodes) are referred to as overtones. The fundamental and overtones, when sounded together, are perceived by the listener as a single tone, though the relative prominence of the frequencies varies among instruments, and contribute to its timbre. Harmonics are produced on the guitar by lightly touching a string, rather than fretting it, at any of these nodal points. When sounded the string can no longer vibrate at its fundamental tone; instead it is forced to vibrate at the specific overtones that correspond to the nodal point, resulting in a chime-like tone.
What is Emerson's point when he writes about an iron string?
When Emerson writes about the "iron string" in his essay "Self-Reliance," he is emphasizing the importance of staying true to one's inner convictions and principles despite societal pressures or outside influences. Just like a vibrating iron string produces a clear sound when it is tuned properly, Emerson suggests that individuals must find their own authentic voice and live by it without being swayed by external expectations.
How do you find the perimeter of a jigsaw puzzle using string?
You can find the perimeter of any planar (flat) object using string by wrapping the string around the outside of the object, noting the point on the string where you return to the starting point, and then measuring the length of that portion of the string.
What is the part of the compound bow string called where the knock rests?
The point on the string where the arrow knock (or nock) comes into contact with the string is called the "Knock Point" or "Nock Point" Nice site for archery terms... http://www.archers-friend.com/archery-terms.html
What is the point in yoyo gloves?
The point of yoyo gloves is to protect your hand from string burns and to create a smoother slide for the string. It also stops the build up of grease and dirt on your hands going onto your string.
What do the initials P A T stand for as it pertains to scoring in American football?
point after touchdown = Point after Try... this is one of those really weird rules that people do not know even exist anymore. Kind of like the 3rd string Quarterback rule. In the NFL if you enter your 3rd string QB within the first 3 Quarters. Your 1st string nor 2nd String can play for the rest of the game...
How does a single point on a string move as a transverse wave passes through that point?
The string moves up and down while the wave travels from the right to left or left to right.

What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is lowered?
Frequence of a wave is how often a string oscillates on a specific point between crests. So if the speed of the string is lowered, the crests of the wave will pass the point less often, causing lower frequency
What is a fraction or a decimal that repeats.?
The answer depends on the repeating string and also on other digits after the decimal point before the repeating string starts.
What did the vikings call magnets?
As a compass. They dangled the metallic stone from a string, knowing it would point north.
What is a kind off wave produced in stretched string?
the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement
