a)
v = phase speed of waves = ?
For the E-key :
fe = fundamental frequency in E-key = 1318.5 Hz
L = length of the key = 10 cm = 0.10 m
fundamental frequency is given as
fe = v/(2L)
inserting the values
1318.5 = v/(2 x 0.1)
v = 264 m/s
For the G-key :
fg = fundamental frequency in G-key = 1568 Hz
L' = length of the key = ?
fundamental frequency is given as
fg = v/(2L')
inserting the values
1568 = 264/(2 L')
L' = 0.0841 m
L' = 8.41 m
b)
v = 264 m/s
