Question

A bass guitar string is 89cm long with a fundamental frequency of 30Hz.

Answer 1

Answer:

= 53.4 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of a sound is given by the formula;

Velocity = Frequency × 2 (Length)

Frequency = 30 Hz

Length = 89 cm, equivalent to 0.89 M

Therefore;

Velocity = 30 × 2 ×0.89

              = 53.4 m/s

Thus; the velocity or the speed of sound is 53.4 m/s
