Question

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.(2 points)

Answer 1

- The wavelength of the wave in the string is shorter than the wavelength of the wave in the air, due to the faster speed of sound in the string.
- The frequency of the wave in the string is higher than the frequency of the wave in the air, as the speed of sound in the string is faster.
