Best Answer

In the string itself, a standing wave is created. This occurs when the string vibrates as the wave in it travels along, reflecting and then traveling back again.

In the air around the string, a longtitudinal wave is formed. This occurs when the string pushes ("compresses") and then pulls ("rarefies") the gases, making the energy travel along away from the string itself.

What instrument causes vibration to make sound?

Instruments without a pickup have sounding boards (piano, guitar) or pipes (xylophones), or any other assortment of objects which resonate at the same frequency as the note played, but with a higher amplitude (volume).


How does a guitar produce sound waves?

well the sound goes into the soundhole and then the sound waves form in the air lol thanksx


What type of sound wave is produed in violin?

The sound wave produced by a violin is a complex waveform with multiple harmonics. It is generated by the vibration of the strings, which are then transmitted to the body of the instrument and amplified through the resonance of the hollow body. This combination of harmonics gives the violin its unique and rich tone.


How does the frequency and wave length of the sound waves be produce and changed with a guitar?

What does banging a drum playing a guitar dropping pebble in water have in common?

All these actions produce waves. Musical instruments produce sounds waves in air. Dropping a pebble in water produces waves on the surface of the water.


A Violin has 4 stings all the same length but of different pitch What must be true of the velocity of the waves on each string as the pitch goes up?

The velocity for higher sounding strings must be faster than the lower sounding strings. The velocity for higher sounding strings must be faster than the lower sounding strings.


How sound is produced from the piano?

Attached to the keys are hammers that strike strings that are inside the piano. They work kind of like a guitar. The hammer hitting the strings creates air waves and that's what makes the sound. The strings have different thicknesses and they make different sounds when the hammer hits them.


Give an exaple of a longitudinal and transverse wave?

A good example is vibrating guitar strings, as they are transverse, but the waves given off are sound, and sound is longtitude.


What are the strings on a guitar?

Standard tuning they would be E,A,D,G,B,E. In terms of the strings themselves(measured in standard thickness) they would be but not limited .012,.016,.024,.032,.044,.056. There are different tuning as well as different thicknesses of strings. If you are talking about what the strings do, well that's a little different. On an electric guitar, these magnetic strings pass over the pickup. When a string vibrates it "messes" with the magnetic Field that the pickup produces. This signal is fed to an amp and is amplified and sound is produced. In an acoustic, the string vibrates and produces sound waves that in turn make the guitar body vibrate. This vibration is what we hear when a guitar is played.


Is the sound from an electric guitar a sound or electromagnetic wave?

sound waves are all around us. the electric guitar will make/reflect sound waves just as it sits in the corner. sound waves is what sound is only that sound waves is the more scientific way of saying it.
