Question

When we pluck the strings of a guitar, the ________ energy of the strings get transferred to the waves.

  1. Kinetic energy
  2. Potential energy
  3. Sound energy
  4. Light energy

hintHint:

The energy a body possesses due to its position relative to others, internal stresses, electrical charges, and other factors.

The correct answer is: Potential energy


    • When we pluck the strings of a guitar, the potential energy of the strings get transferred to the waves.
    • When the string is plucked, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. 
    • As the string vibrates, it is oscillating back and forth between the transfer of kinetic energy and potential energy.
    • So, the correct option is b.
