When a guitar string is plucked, the energy is mainly kinetic energy. The potential energy stored in the string due to its tension is converted into kinetic energy as the string vibrates back and forth, producing sound waves.
When you increase the length of a guitar string, the pitch produced becomes lower, as the longer string vibrates at a lower frequency. Conversely, when you decrease the length of the string, the pitch becomes higher because the shorter string vibrates at a higher frequency.
A high-pitched sound results when a string or a column of air vibrates rapidly.
The physics of guitar strings affects the sound produced by a guitar through factors like tension, length, thickness, and material. When a string is plucked, it vibrates at a certain frequency based on these factors, creating sound waves that resonate in the guitar body and produce the characteristic tone of the instrument.
The type of wave produced when a string in a sitar vibrates is a transverse wave. This means that the particles of the medium (like air) move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation as the sound travels through the material.
The guitar string vibrates; this vibration is transmitted to the air as sound.

The strings.
When it is on the guitar, the vibrating string makes the guitar vibrate with it.
A high-pitched sound results when a string or a column of air vibrates rapidly.
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.
The guitar makes sound when you pluck a string. The string vibrates down to the base of the guitar and travels in the hole, coming out as a sound we call a note.
