The length of a guitar's strings is 650 mm. What is therefore the wavelength of a wave on any of the strings if the string is free to move?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.3 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave generated by the string of a guitar, if the string is free to move, is twice the length of the string, that is:

$\lambda=2L$

L: length of the string  = 650mm

By replacing you calculate the wavelength and obtain:

$\lambda=2(650mm)=1300mm=1.3m$

hence, the wavelength is 1.3 m
