Verified by Experts

Musical instrumetits like guitar are provided with a hollow, box so that when the strings are set into vibration, forced vibrations are produced in the box. Since the box has a large area, its vibrations take place in a large volume of air as a result of which a loud sound of the same frequency as that of the string is produced.
