Best Answer

since v=f(lambda), where v is the speed in metres per second, f is the frequency in hertz and lambda the wavelength in metres , for this question, v= 440 x 1.5=660m/s

Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?

v=f*wavelength v=2*.5 v=1 m/s


A wave along a guitar string has a frequency of 440Hz and a wave length of 1.5m what is the speed of the wave?

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).


How do you get different notes from a string on a guitar?

By placing a finger on a fret along the neck of the guitar, the length of the string is changed and the note altered.


A wave travels at 3 ms along a spring toy If the wavelength is 02 m what is the waves frequency?

Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3/0.2 = 15 Hertz


What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?

The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).


What does the nut do for the acoustic guitar?

It, along with the bridge at the other end, defines the singing length of the open string. It is the bridge that transfers the sound from the string to the soundbox/soundboard of the guitar.


Why does putting pressure on a string in a stringed instrument make a different sound?

"Pressure" is not what causes strings to produce sound. It's "tension" which does that. Adjusting the tuners either increases or decreases the tension, thus altering the audible pitch. Bending the strings also increases the tension. The sound is due to the vibration of the strings. Greater tension causes a shorter, higher frequency wavelength or amplitude which produces a higher pitch. Lesser tension causes a longer, lower frequency wavelength which produces a lower pitch. Depressing the strings onto the fingerboard effectively shortens the length of the string. The more a string is shortened, the shorter its vibrational wavelength and the higher its frequency will become. The location along the fingerboard at which the string is depressed serves the same function as does the nut when a open string is sounded.


How do you find wavelength of a wave?

The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.

How do frequency change the pitch of a sound?

Pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound. It is one of the three major auditory attributes of sounds along with loudness and timbre.


How does Ultraviolet light work?

UV light is the same as any other kind of light or radiation along the spectrum from radioactive waves to radio waves. The difference between them is their wavelength and fequency. The longer the wavelength, the less the frequency. UV light is high-frequency short-wavelength light, just a bit more high-frequency than the highest-frequency visible light, which is violet. How does light work? Well, even physicists aren't quite sure.
