17.1 Exercise 18

Avg difficulty 2.5

A guitar string oscillates at a frequency of 100 Hz and produces a sound wave. (a) What do you think the frequency of the sound wave is that the vibrating string produces? (b) If the speed of the sound wave is
v=343m/s,v = 343 \text{m}/\text{s}, what is the wavelength of the sound wave?
