It can vibrate faster because it has less mass.

What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
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
Does a short string on an instrument make a low pitch sound?
no, higher pitch.
Why does increasing the tension on a guitar string increase the pitch when plucked?
yes because, as the string gets tighter it will be harder for the string to move
What happens when you tighten the stringson a dotar?
the pitch of the string goes higher. if it doesn't, then either something's wrong with said guitar, or I'm wrong and you should go ask Albert Einstein or your guitar teacher or someone who's smart.

If violin pitch is too high do you tighten the string?
No. If you tighten the string, the pitch will get higher and if you do it too much, the string may break. You need to loosen the string to make it lower.

What is the relation between the length of the string of stringed instruments and pitch of the note the string produces?
The shorter you make a string, the higher the pitch will be. You can notice that as someone plays the guitar, and they slide their fingers toward the body, the pitch gets higher. If you loosen a peg on a stringed instrument to elongate the string, the pitch drops because the frequency (how many vibrations per second) decreases.
What do frets on a guitar do?
They are the places where you put your fingers to make the string shorter, making the pitch higher.

Why do the thinner strings on a guitar make a different sound?
they are actually there in order to make a higher pitch making it sound higher. on the other hand, the thicker ones make a lower sound
How would you change the length of a string to create a higher pitch?
Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).
What happens to a pitch if you shorten the string?
The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length. If you want to increase the frequency of a pendulum by a factor of 10, you make it 99% shorter.
What makes a harps soundthe thikness of the string or the leangth of the string?
The strings on the harp vibrate, that vibration resonates in the sound board. The thichnes and the length of the string, as well as the material and construction of the string determine frequency. Thicker and longer strings make for a lower pitch sound. Shorter and thinner strings have height pitch. The sound board amplifies the sound, and also gives the tone a character.
