Sound travels through a guitar string at 600 m/s, making a sound wave in the air with a speed of 333 m/s. In 1–2 sentences, explain how the wavelength and frequency of the wave in the string compare to the wavelength and frequency of the wave in the air.

Answer 1

The wavelength of the wave in the string will be longer and the frequency will be lower compared to the wavelength and frequency of the wave in the air.
