Solution

Step 1:

Reason:

  • Musical instruments, such as the guitar, have a hollow box that produces force vibrations when the strings are set into vibration.
  • The box has a big surface area; it causes a large volume of air to vibrate, resulting in a loud sound with the same frequency as the string.
  • As a result, when plucking the strings, forced air vibrations send out more energy, resulting in a loud sound.
