A sound source of frequency 512 Hz is producing 6 beats with a guitar. If the string of gultar is stretched slightly then beat frequency decreases. The original frequency of guitar is

A closed organ pipe is sounded near a guitar, causing one of the string to vibrate with large amplitude . We vary the tension of the string until we find the maximum amplitude. The string is 80% as long as the closed pipe. If both the pipe and the string vibrate at their fundamental frequency, calculate the ratio of the wave speed on the string to the speed of sound in air.

Two identical violin strings, when in true and stretched with same tension , have a fundamental frequency of 440.0 H_(Z) . One of the string is retuned by adjusting its tension .
