Chapter 14.5, Problem 14.6QQ
You are tuning a guitar by comparing the sound of the string with that of a standard tuning fork. You notice a beat frequency of 5 Hz when both sounds are present. You tighten the guitar string and the beat frequency rises to 8 Hz. To tune the string exactly to the tuning fork, what should you do? (a) Continue to tighten the string. (b) Loosen the string. (c) It is impossible to determine.

Suppose you pluck a string on a guitar and it produces the note A at a frequency of 440 Hz. Now you press your finger down on the string against one of the frets, making this point the new end of the string. The newly shortened string has 4/5 the length of the full string. When you pluck the string, its frequency will beA. 350 Hz B. 440 Hz C. 490 Hz D. 550 Hz
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.62 m) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the fifth harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 3.60×102 Hz.
What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings?
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.65 m) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the second harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 3.60×102 Hz.
