Explanation Given data: Charges developed is + 17 pC . Formula used: Write the expression for wavelength. λ = v f (1) Here, λ is the wavelength. v is the velocity. f is the frequency. Explanation: In the first harmonic of guitar strings, the wavelength of the string is twice that of the length of the string, that is, λ = 2 × 59 cm = 11 8 cm Substitute 118 cm for λ and 196 Hz for f in equation (1), 118 cm = v 196 Hz v = 196 Hz × 118 cm v = 231.28 m s Consider the same velocity, by keeping the strumming constant for the guitarist. Wavelength ( λ 1 ) of the note Ab is, Substitute 231.28 m s for v and 207.65 Hz for f in equation (1), λ 1 = 231.28 m s 207.65 Hz = 1
