A standard violin string is 32.8 cm long from the tuning peg to the bridge. When played open(without pressing a finger against the fingerboard), this string has a fundamental (lowest)frequency of 440 Hz.
(a) What is the wavelength of the wave at this frequency? (Hint: the lowest frequency is alsothe longest wavelength that can produce a standing wave.) b.
(b) What is the speed of the wave on the string? (Hint: this is not the speed of sound!)c.
(c) How far from the end of the string should a finger be placed in order to produce afundamental frequency of 523 Hz.
