Step 1
1 of 2We know that wavelength can be written as:
where, Velocity of propagation Frequency
As the guitar string string is vibrating in its fundamental mode, the frequency of that will be same as the frequency of standing wave on the string. But velocity of propagation of wave will depend on the media in which they are propagating.
As velocities are not same, hence the wavelength of the guitar string and that of standing wave will be different.
Thus, option (a) is False.
