Chapter 18.8, Problem 18.5CE
Tuning the Guitar
Before a performance, a piano is tuned so that the middle A string emits sound at 440 Hz. The guitarist sounds an A on her instrument while that note is played simultaneously on the piano and hears beats at a frequency fbeat = 2 Hz. As she tightens the string of her guitar, the beat frequency decreases. The beats completely disappear when her guitar is in tune with the piano. What was the fundamental frequency of her guitar before it was tuned?

A beam of monochromatic light is split into two parts, each of which is directed along the axis of a separate cylindrical tube before being recombined into a single beam that is viewed through a telescope. Suppose we are given the following, • Length of each tube is L = 0.4 m. • λ= 598 nm. Both tubes are initially evacuated, and constructive interference is observed in the center of the field of view.
