Back to 16.3 Wave Speed on a Stretched String

16.3 Exercise 19

Avg difficulty 2.5

The note E4E_{4} is played on a piano and has a frequency of f=393.88.f = 393.88 . If the linear mass density of this string of the piano is μ=0.012kg/m\mu = 0.012 \text{kg}/\text{m} and the string is under a tension of 1000.00 N, what is the speed of the wave on the string and the wavelength of the wave?
