Problem 16.14

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushing the string against various frets, which changes the string's length. The ninth fret from the neck gives E (329.63 Hz); the tenth fret gives F (349.23 Hz). How far apart are the ninth and tenth frets?

    A guitar player can change the frequency of a string by "bending" it-pushing it along a fret that is perpendicular to its length. This stretches the string, increasing its tension and its frequency. The A string on a guitar is 64 cm long and has a tension of 74 N. The guitarist pushes this string down against a fret located at the center of the string, which gives it a frequency of 220 Hz. He then bends the string, pushing...

    The length of a guitar string is 0.628 m. The frets are numbered for convenience. A performer can play a musical scale on a single string, because the spacing between the frets is designed according to the following rule: When the string is pushed against any fret j, the fundamental frequency of the shortened string is larger by a factor of the twelfth root of two (122) than it is when the string is pushed against the fret j -...
