How might you use the concept of beat frequency to tune a guitar (violin, piano or any instrument with strings, but not a fish)? Explain your reasoning.
BY using the concept of beat frequency to tune a guitar
We know beat frequency = f 2 – f 1
we can hear the beat frequency if the guitar is un tuned, bring a
tuned guitar near it, pluck the same string of both the
guitars.
for reducing the beat frequency we have to Try tunig the string by trying. If the beat frequency increases instead of decreasing, try turbubg the knob in the other direction.
the strings are in tune and hence the guitar beat frequency becomes finally 0,.

You want to manufacture a guitar such that the instrument will be in tune when each of the strings are tightened to the same tension. The middle (D) string on the guitar should have fundamental frequency 146.83 Hz. The highest (E) string should have fundamental frequency 329.63 Hz. If the D string has linear mass density 0.00430kg/m, what should be the mass density of the E string? Assume all the strings are the same length.
What beat frequencies result if a piano hammer hits three strings that emit frequencies of 659.3, 293.6, and 440.0 Hz? (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.) You and a friend frequently play a trombone duet in a jazz band. During such performances it is critical that the two instruments be perfectly tuned. Since you take better care of your trombone, you decide to use your instrument as the standard. When you produce a tone that is known to be...
The G string on a violin has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. It is 30.0 cm long. While this string is sounding, a nearby violinist effectively shortens (by sliding her finger down the string) the G string on her violin until a beat frequency of 4.7 Hz is heard between the strings on the two violins. When this occurs, how far (cm) down the string did she slide her finger? Assume that the velocity of waves on the violin...
Question8 Current Attempt in Progress In Concept Simulation 17.2 you can explore the concepts that are important in this problem. A 466-Hz tuning fork is sounded together with an out-of-tune guitar string, and a beat frequency of 4 Hz is heard. When the string is tightened, the frequency at which it vibrates increases, and the beat frequency is heard to decrease. What was the original frequency of the guitar string? Number Units Attempts: O of 4 used Save for Later...
Example 18.7 The Mistuned Piano Strings Two identical piano strings of length 0.775 m are each tuned exactly to 400 Hz. The tension in one of the strings is then increased by 1.0%. If they are now struck, what is the beat frequency between the fundamentals of the two strings? SOLVE IT Conceptualize As the tension in one of the strings is changed, its fundamental frequency changes. Therefore, when both strings are played, they will have different frequencies and beats...
1. (review: B&S 3.3) Two guitar strings are made of nylon and strung on a guitar. They are held at the same tension and have the same length and different fundamental frequencies. a) Write the equation (3.1), a compilation of Mersenne's laws, in the space below. b) In view of the above equation, what accounts for the different frequencies? c) How could you determine which one has the lower frequency by inspecting the strings? Explain your reasoning.
Question 4 1 pts You play a low G note on a guitar and the string vibrates about 100 times every second. If your friend sings a G note that is 2 octaves higher than this, how many times per second will her vocal cords vibrate? (In both cases we are referring to the frequency of the fundamental) 25 50 100 200 300 400 Question 3 1 pts Your speaker level is set to 50 decibels. You turn it up...
Carefully explain how a guitar player can use a single guitar string to produce several different-frequency notes.
On a guitar, there are six strings, all the same length. How- ever, all of these strings play different pitches: the thick strings will play low pitches, and the thin strings will play high pitches How do the speeds of the waves in these strings compare? Explain your reasoning.
Discuss the concept of polarity management and how you might use it.
