Question

If we wrap a second wire around a guitar string to increase its mass, what effect does this have on the frequency and wavelength of the fundamental standing wave formed on that string? A) The wavelength will increase because the mass per unit length has been increased and the frequency will remain unchanged. b)The frequency will increase because the mass per unit length has been increased and the wavelength will remain unchanged. c) The wavelength will decrease because the mass per unit length has been increased and the frequency will remain unchanged. d_ The frequency will decrease because the mass per unit length has been increased and the wavelength will remain unchanged.

Explanation / Answer

d_ The frequency will decrease because the mass per unit length has been increased and the wavelength will remain unchanged.
