(choose chapter or problem)

Guitar String. One of the 63.5-cm-long strings of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the note \(\mathrm{B}_{3}\) (frequency 245 Hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mode.

(a) Find the speed of transverse waves on this string.

(b) If the tension in this string is increased by 1.0%, what will be the new fundamental frequency of the string?

(c) If the speed of sound in the surrounding air is 344 m/s, find the frequency and wavelength of the sound wave produced in the air by the vibration of the \(\mathrm{B}_{3}\) string. How do these compare to the frequency and wavelength of the standing wave on the string?
