A guitar string has a fundamental frequency f. The tension in the string is increased by 1.70%. Ignoring the very small stretch of the string. How does the fundamental frequency change?

Respuesta :

The characteristics of the speed of the waves in strings and the resonance allows to find the change in the fundamental frequency when changing the tension is:

  •  The change in fundamental frequency is: f = 1.08 f₀

The speed of the chord wave is given by the relationship between the tension and the density of the medium.

          [tex]v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }[/tex]  

Where v is the velocity of the wave, T the tension of the string and μ the density

In a rope held at the ends, a process of standing waves occurs, two at the point where it is attached we have a node and a anti-node in the center.

             2L = n λ

Where L is the length of the chord and call the wavelength

Wave speeds are related to wavelength and frequency.

        v = λ f

We substitute.

            [tex]\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } } = \frac{2L}{n} \ \ f[/tex]  

For the fundamental frequency n = 1

            f₀ = [tex]f_o = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } } \ \ \frac{1}{2L}[/tex]  

They indicate that the tension increases 1.70%

           T = T₀ + 0.17 T₀

           T = 1.17 T₀

We substitute.

         [tex]f = \sqrt{1.17 } \ \sqrt{\frac{T_o}{\mu } } \ \ \frac{1}{2L}[/tex]

         f = ra1.17 f₀

         f = 1.08 f₀

In conclusion, using the characteristics of the velocity of the waves in strings and the resonance we can find the change in the fundamental frequency when changing the tension is:

  •  The change in fundamental frequency is: f = 1.08 f₀
