If the wavelength of the standing wave of a 60-cm long guitar string is 40 cm, and it has antinodes at x = 10, 30, and 50 cm and nodes at x = 0, 20, 40 and 60 cm, what is the wavelength of the longest wavelength standing wave pattern that can fit on this guitar string?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The longest pattern that can fit on a string is called the fundamental and is given by λ = 2L                          

Wavelength of the longest wavelength standing wave pattern that can fit on this guitar string = 2L = 2*60=120cm(answer)

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushing the string against various frets, which changes the string's length. The third fret from the neck gives B♭ (233.08 Hz); the fourth fret gives B (246.94 Hz). How far apart are the third and fourth frets? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
