A. The frequency of the note played by the open E5 string vibrating in its fundamental standing wave is 659 HzHz. Calculate the wave speed for the transverse waves on the string. ( ans v = 400m/s)

B. The vibrating string produces sound waves in air with the same frequency as that of the string. Use 344 m/sm/s for the speed of sound in air and calculate the wavelength of the E5 note in air. Compare the wavelength in air with the wavelength on the string. (ANS 0.86)

Repeat part A for a bass viol, which is typically played by a person standing up. The portion of a bass violin string that is free to vibrate is about 1.0 mm long. The G2 string produces a note with frequency 98 HzHz when vibrating in its fundamental standing wave.

Repeat part B for a bass viol.
