Question

1.A guitar string is tuned to an E4 (that is the standard tune for the thinnest string on a guitar.) If the scale length is 25.7 inches, what is the wave speed on that string? 1.A guitar string is tuned to an E4 (that is the standard tune for the thinnest string on a guitar.) If the scale length is 25.7 inches, what is the wave speed on that string? A guitar string is tuned to an E4 (that is the standard tune for the thinnest string on a guitar.) If the scale length is 25.7 inches, what is the wave speed on that string? A harmonic wave traveling on a string has wavelength 2.3 m, frequency 34.5 Hz, and amplitude 11.2 cm, and is described by What is the transverse displacement at the location x=5.24 m at time t=3.35 s? (Answer in cm.)

Explanation / Answer

1) Frequency of E4 = 329.6 Hz

wavelength = 2 * 25.7 = 51.4 inches

velocity = wavelength * f

= 51.4 * 329.6

= 1.69 * 10^4 inch/s
