How does tightening the string of a violin change its vibration?

There are some complex physics behind string vibrations. Essentially, the looser the string, the less nodes, or points where the sound waves go from crest to trough. This of course affects the frequency, or rate at which the string vibrates. So when the string is tightened, more nodes are created, and the frequency increases, increasing the pitch.

How does a violin produse music?
A violin produces sound by the vibration of the bow on the string, or the vibration when you pluck a string.
What does tightening a string do to the sound on a violin?
Causes it to give a note of higher frequency
Will it be quieter is a violin string is tightened?
If a violin string is tightened, the volume does not change, the note does. If you tighten a string, it gets higher, and if you loosen it, it gets lower.
What classification does the violin belong to?
The violin is the smallest member of the string family.
What does tightening a string on a violin do to the sound made by that string?
well the tighter it is means it is stretching a lot so it make is harder to make noise but if it is quite loose it makes a big loud hard noise cause it is not struggling.

Why is the violin in the string section?
Its main (and only) method of producing sound is the vibration of its strings, thus it belongs in the stringssection.
How do we change the pitch of a violin?
The pitch of any violin string is changed depending on which spot on the fingerboard a finger is placed.
What are the source of sound?
Sound is a vibration of air molecules, at a frequency we can hear. The air is set into vibration by something else that is vibrating; the vocal chords, the violin string, the drum diaphragm, the falling water, the falling tree.
When a violin string of a certain length is set in vibration it will produce a certain pitch Under the same conditions a string half as long will produce a pitch one octave lower?
No. A string half as long as a violin string set vibrating will produce a note one octave higher. That is exactly how the violin is played. When the violinist moves his hand up and down the fingerboard, he is literally shortening the strings making the notes higher or lengthening them to make them lower. The lowest note a violin can reach is the open G string. That is the G below middle C. Pressing down on that string raises the pitch. When you tune your violin, you tune your A string first and then tune your other strings to that string.

Where does the vibration take place in the violin?
The vibration takes place in the body.

The soprano voice of the string instruments?
