Question

A guitar string vibrates with a frequency of 320 Hz. If the wavelength of the vibration is 0.13

meters what is the speed of the wave

Answer 1

Answer: speed = 41.6 m/ s

Explanation: Given that the

frequency F = 320 Hz.

wavelength = 0.13meters

The speed of a wave is the product of frequency and wavelength of the wave

V = F λ

Where

V = wave speed (m/s)

λ (m) = wavelength.

F = frequency (Hz).

Using the formula above gives:

Speed = 320 × 0.13

Speed = 41.6 m/s
