Yes, and so does the length.

How does thickness of a string affect the speed of vibration?
????
How does the material and the thickness affect the sound that travels through?
thickness doesnt affect it. The higher the density of the material, the greater the speed of sound. e.g 330 m/s in air 1500 m/s in water 4500 m/s in solids
What factors decide the frequency of vibration of a plucked string?
The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension and density. These properties are- When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.
Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?
Sound will travel better in string because speed of sound on solids is greater than that in air. As string is a solid so sound will travel faster (or better) in string than in air
Can sound pass through a string?
Sound can "propagate" along a string, i.e. travel along the string from one end to the other.
How does thickness of a string affect the speed of vibration?

What 3 things can cause a string to have a deeper sound?
Length of the string, thickness of the string, tautness of the string.
Does a long string on an instrument make a low pitch sound?
It depends on the thickness of the string. But the longer the string, the lower the note
How sounds are produced by instruments?
the simplified answer is that when the string is plucked or the bow is pulled across the string(s), it cause the string(s) to vibrate. The length and thickness of the string as well as the resonance of the instrument determines the wavelength and therefore determines the pitch of the sound produced. other factors that can affect the sound are the material the string is made of as well as the material of the instrument itself.

How can you do a science fair with a guitar?
do something about sound with the vibrations of the strings How does the thickness of each string impact the pitch?
How does the lenght of a string affect the sound it makes when plucked?
A longer string will have a greater distance between peaks of the waves of the vibration, so a sound will be lower on the sound wave scale.
How do you produce sound out of string instruments?
Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like guitars and violins. The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.
How does the material and the thickness affect the sound that travels through?
thickness doesnt affect it. The higher the density of the material, the greater the speed of sound. e.g 330 m/s in air 1500 m/s in water 4500 m/s in solids
What are the factors that affect the sound of a vibrating guitar strings?
The factors of the sound of a guitar string are tuning the string (changes the tension; the tighter the higher) and pressing down on the fret (changes amount of string that vibrates; the shorter the higher)
Why do string instuments make sound?
Because when you pluck / strum (or in a piano;s case pressing will cause the strings to be hit ) it causes the strings to make a vibration and it will make a difference on the length and thickness of the string to what sound it will make It also makes a sound because when you pull it and release it it makes a sound. Almost everything makes a sound.
Does the thickness of the string matter when making string telephones?
erm . . . don't think so . . . lol . . . i think thinner is better though so the sound waves can travel threw x lol x
