Answer:
<h3> b. 1.18</h3>
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;
F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1
L is the length of the string
T is the tension
m is the mass per unit length
If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;
T2 = T + 40%T
T2 = T + 0.4T
T2 = 1.4T
The new fundamental frequency will be;
F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2
Divide 1 by 2;
F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+
F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m
F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T
F2/F = √1.4T/√T
F2/F = 1.18√T/√T
F2/F = 1.18
F2 = 1.18F
Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18
My calculations state, not rounding, the mass is 1.8
I think the answer would be: The G-note's wavelength is longer
Here are the formula to calculate wavelength
Wavelength = Wave speed/Frequency
Which indicates that the wavelength will become larger as the frequency became smaller.
