Best Answer

v = f h,

h = lambda = wavelength.

f = frequency in Hz

v = velocity

therefore,

v = 1.5 * 440

(the units of v in this case are meters per second).

What is the wavelength of sound waves produced by a guitar string vibrating at 440 Hz?

Wavelength = velocity of sound in the medium / frequency Here velocity is not given. Let it be 330 m/s So required wavelength = 330/440 = 3/4 = 0.75 m

What is the frequency of a oboe?

The oboe is in the key of C. When an oboe plays its A, it is 440Hz.


What frequency would you hear with a 340 Hz tuning fork near a guitar string vibrating at 350 Hz?

340 hz is the pitch or note that is sounding. It's the times the string would vibrate per second. By 350 hz guitar, I would get you would be playing a note on the low E string and it would sound sharp to the tuning fork. You would hear a subtle beat or pulsing when sounded together. That beat would get slower and slower as you loosened the string to bring the pitch down until it quit altogether. Your would then have that note tuned to 340 hz. BTW...standard tuning is called A440 meaning that the A note is tuned to 440hz.


How many ways are there to reduce the frequency of a guitar?

Yes, you can try other frequencies if your tuner supports this. Look into 432hz which is lower than the standard 440hz. It's also called the classical tuning and slightly lower than 440.


What is the frequency of a violin?

Here are the frequency, in Hertz, of the violin's four strings in order from lowest to highest: G: 196 Hz D: 293.66 Hz A: 440 Hz E: 659.25 Hz The G at 196 Hz is the lowest pitch on the violin (though a very rare and unconventional technique call subharmonics allows for a player to go below that). On each string the violin can theoretically attain as high a pitch as the violinist desires, but in practical terms, a pitch two octaves and a fifth above the fundamental (the open string with no fingers laid down). It is possible to go higher on the string, but it is very rarely, if ever, used, and it is extremely difficult to produce good tone at such extremes.

Why isn't Middle C tuned to 440Hz?

Because it's been decided that 440Hz is A, not C.


How is playing cello related to math?

The frequency of the vibrations by the strings and the sound that it produces can be divided (or multiplied) into smaller (or larger) frequencies. The changed frequencies make notes. For example, middle C has a frequency of 278.4375 Hz and the A above that has a frequency of 440Hz.


What is the highness or lowness of sound?

Pitch is a term used to refer to the height or lowness of a sound. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound waves. A higher pitch has a higher frequency. The noted called A that is the first A above middle C is often used as a note for tuning instruments to match each other, and has the frequency of 440Hz.
