String resonance
Imagine if you had a guitar, and you plucked one string. When you pluck that string, it starts wiggling around really fast back and forth. This makes sound waves that travel through the air and make your ears hear a sound.
Now, imagine if you didn't pluck any other strings on the guitar, but you still heard some more sound coming out. That's because the string you plucked is also causing other strings on the guitar to wiggle around a little bit too.
When the sound waves from the plucked string hit the other strings, they make those strings wiggle around in sympathy. That means they start wiggling around a little bit at the same frequency as the plucked string.
This phenomenon is called "string resonance." It's like a chain reaction where sound waves from one string cause other nearby strings to start vibrating too. This makes the sound seem fuller and richer.
This is not just true for guitars - this can happen with any stringed instruments like violins or pianos. When someone plays a note on a stringed instrument, other strings that are tuned to the same pitch will start to resonate and make the sound richer and fuller.
