Q- One of the 63.5 cm long strings of an ordinary guitar is tuned to produce the not B (frequency 245 Hz) when vibrating in its fundamental mode.

(a) find the speed of the transverse wave on this string.

(b) If the tension in the string is doubled, what will be the new fundamental frequency of the string?

(c) If, instead, the string had been pressed against a fret to reduce its effective length by half. What would the new fundamental frequency have been?
