Question
Guitars have strings of different linear mass density. If the lowest density string and the highest density string are under the same tension, which string would support waves with the higher wave speed?
Step 1
Step 1: The wave speed v on a string is given by the formula: \[v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\] where T is the tension in the string and \(\mu\) is the linear mass density of the string. Show more…

The six strings of a guitar are the same length and under nearly the same tension, but they have different thicknesses. On which string do waves travel the fastest? (i) The thickest string; (ii) the thinnest string; (iii) the wave speed is the same on all strings.
When a guitar string is struck, a standing wave is produced that causes the sounding board to oscillate with a large sustained amplitude, pushing back and forth against the surrounding air to generate sound. How does the frequency of the resulting sound compare with the frequency of the standing wave in the string?
Will the thicker or thinner of two guitar strings of the same tension and length vibrate at the higher frequency?
