What is the purpose of the frets on a guitar? In terms of the frequency of the vibration of the strings, explain their use.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In string instruments like guitars, fret boards are used to play correct notes at right time by simply changing their pitch.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of frets

A fret is raised portion on the neck of the guitar. Fret extends generally across the full width of the neck. The frets divide the neck into particular segments at intervals related to a musical framework.

02

Frets in terms of frequency of vibration

The frets can be used for a variety of purposes. For starters, frets make it much easier to establish good standard intonation. The frets indicate where the correct notes should be played. Second, playing chords on a fretted fingerboard is much easier than on an unfretted one.

You blow across the open mouth of an empty test tube and produce the fundamental standing wave of the air column inside the test tube. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s and the test tube act as a stopped pipe. (a) If the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave? (b) What is the frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the air column if the test tube is half filled with water?

The speed of ocean waves depends on the depth of the water; the deeper the water, the faster the wave travels. Use this to explain why ocean waves crest and 鈥渂reak鈥� as they near the shore.

Violins are short instruments, while cellos and basses are long. In terms of the frequency of the waves they produce, explain why this is so.

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once every 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this period. The duck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.32 m/s, and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck are spaced 0.12 m apart. (a) What is the duck鈥檚 speed? (b) How far apart are the crests behind the duck?
