In what way does varying the length of a string of a violin change the vibration and how does this affect the sound that's produced?

The wavelength is the so-called "fundamental" wavelength, or the "first mode." Thus, the wavelength of the string's vibration is defined by the supports, and has nothing whatsoever to do with mass or elasticity.
