Complete question is The frequency of the fundamental of the guitar string is 320 Hz. At what speed c do waves move along that string? wavelength is 40 cm.
Answer:
128 m/s
Explanation:
In case where fundamental frequency is given, the speed with waves travel along the string can be calculated using the following formula:
v = f (2L) where L is the length of the string (L = λ/2)
⇒v= f λ
f = 320 Hz (given)
λ = 40 cm = 0.40 m
Substitute the values:
⇒ v = 320 Hz × 0.40 m= 128 m/s
