What effect does increasing the tension in a vibrating string have on the wavelength?
it will shorten it
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
it is produced by the string vibrating on the instrument when you strum it.
Why do a guitar and a trumpet sound different when I go to the same note?
The reason is because the sound is created by different means and materials. On a guitar, it's a vibrating string. With trumpet, the player's lips buzz into a mouthpiece and cause a tone to pass through the instrument.
What is the wavelength of a low A note on a bass guitar?
The lowest note on an acoustic guitar is an open E, on the E string. the equivalent note on a bass guitar is the second fret of the D string, or the 7th fret of the A string, or the 12 fret of the E string..
Why does tightening a guitar string raise the pitch of the string when it is played?
It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
Law of vibrating strings?
The law of vibrating strings is the vibrational mode of a string that is stretched. The wavelength is twice the length of the string.
What are the different guitar pitches and how are they produced?
Guitar pitches are produced by varying the tension of the strings and the length of the vibrating portion of the string. The main pitches on a guitar are E, A, D, G, B, and E, which are produced by tuning the strings to specific frequencies. By pressing down on the strings at different points along the fretboard, players can change the length of the vibrating portion of the string and produce different pitches.

Why does a vibrating guitar string sound louder when it is on the instrumen tthan it does when it is stretched ona workbench?
When it is on the guitar, the vibrating string makes the guitar vibrate with it.
Give an example of a common standing wave?
A guitar string vibrating at its fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is an example of a common standing wave. The fixed ends of the guitar string create nodes, and the string vibrates in segments with antinodes in between.
Is a string vibrating at the fundamental frequency the length of half the wavelength?
This question can't be answered as asked. A string vibrating at its fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the speed of the produced sound through air, or any other medium. Different mediums transmit sound at different speeds. The formula for wavelength is L = S/F, were L is the wavelength, S is the speed through the medium and F is the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength depends on the speed of sound through the medium and directly proportional to the speed and inversely proportional to the frequency.
What causes the sounds that come from the guitar?
In an acoustic guitar - it's a combination of the string vibrating, and the sound being amplified by the tone hole. In an electric guitar, the vibrating string causes current to flow in the pick-up coil - which is then fed to an amplifier.
Why does a guitar produce sound of frequency much higher than that of a car horn?
The frequency of sound produced by an object is determined by its vibrations. A guitar string vibrating at a higher frequency produces a higher pitch sound, while a car horn typically produces a lower pitch sound due to its larger vibrating source. The difference in size and material of the vibrating sources between a guitar string and a car horn results in the production of sound at different frequencies.
What is fretting on a guitar and how does it affect the sound produced?
Fretting on a guitar is when a player presses down on a string against a fret to change the pitch of the note produced. This shortens the vibrating length of the string, resulting in a higher pitch. Fretting affects the sound by allowing the player to play different notes and chords, creating melodies and harmonies.
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
it is produced by the string vibrating on the instrument when you strum it.
How you can change the length of vibrating string?
Moving your finger along the string will alter the length and the pitch of the sound produced.
What are the laws of string?
Avibration in a string is a wave. Usually a vibrating string produces a sound whose frequency in most cases is constant. Therefore, since frequency characterizes the pitch, the sound produced is a constant note. Vibrating strings are the basis of any string instrument like guitar, cello, or piano. The speed of propagation of a wave in a string is proportional to the square root of the tension of the string and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear mass of the string.
