The vibrational frequency of a guitar string.
Answer to Problem 42P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
String produces = 4 beats/s, and sounded with
Tuning fork = 9 beats/s, and sounded with
Formula used:
Beats/s = [350 − f ]and [355 − f ].
Calculation:
A guitar string is sounded at the same time as a tuning fork.
4 beats/s = [350- f ],
9 beats/s = [355- f ],
Therefore, the vibrational frequency of the sound is 346 Hz.
Conclusion:
The vibrational frequency of a guitar string is 346 Hz.
