What is the fundamental frequency for a 62 cm banjo string if the speed of waves on the string is 470 m/s?

Answers

Answered by drwls
The fundamental wavelength is 0.124 m (twice the string length), and the frequency is the wave speed divided by that number.
470/0.124 = 3790 Hz

That seems high to me. Almost 4 octaves above middle C
