An unfingered guitar string is 0.68 m long and is tuned to play E above middle C (330 Hz).

a) How far from the end of this string must a fret (and your finger) be placed to play A above middle C (440 Hz) ?

b) What is the wavelength on the string of this 440-Hz wave?

c) What are the frequency and wavelength of the sound wave produced in air at 22°C by this fingered string?

    Length (L2) = 0.51m

    Wavelength of string (∆) = 1.02m

    Wavelength of sound produced = 0.7795m

    Explanation:

    Using the equation L1F1 = L2F2

    L1 = 0.68m, F1 = 330Hz, F2 = 440Hz

    Therefore, (0.68m) (330Hz) = (L2) (440Hz)

    L2 = 0.68m * 330hz/440hz

    L2 = 0.51m

    0.68m - 0.51m = 0.17m from the but

    B. ∆ = 2*length (L2)

    ∆ = 2 (0.51) = 1.02m

    C. Frequency (f) = 440Hz

    V = ∆f

    343m/s = ∆*440hz

    ∆ = 343m/s/440hz

    ∆ = 0.7795m
