Question
A bass guitar string is 89 cm long with a fundamental frequency of $30 \mathrm{Hz}$. What is the wave speed on this string?
Step 1
We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so we divide 89 by 100 to get the length in meters. This gives us: \[L = \frac{89}{100} = 0.89 \, \text{m}\] Show more…

A guitar string plays a G note with a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. If the guitar string has a length 61 cm, what is the speed of wave in the guitar string?
If the fundamental frequency of a $60-\mathrm{cm}$ -long guitar string is $500 \mathrm{Hz}$, what is the speed of the traveling waves?
(II) $\mathrm{A} 65$ -cm guitar string is fixed at both ends. In the frequency range between 1.0 and 2.0 $\mathrm{kHz}$ , the string is found to resonate only at frequencies $1.2,1.5,$ and 1.8 $\mathrm{kHz}$ . What is the speed of traveling waves on this string?
