Review Conceptual Example 5 before attempting this problem. Asthe drawing shows, the length of a guitar string is 0.601 m. The frets are numbered for convenience. A performer can play a musicalscale on a single string because the spacing between thefrets is designed according to the following rule: When thestring is pushed against any fret j, the fundamental frequency of the shortened string is larger by a factor of thetwelfth root of two than it is when the string is pushed againstthe fret j - 1. Assuming that the tension in the string isthe same for any note, find the spacing (a)between fret 1 and fret 0 and (b) between fret 7and fret 6.
