A guitar player tunes the fundamental frequency of a guitar string to 300 Hz. (a) What will be the fundamental frequency if she then increases the tension in the string by 30%? (b) What will it be if, instead, she decreases the length along which the string oscillates by sliding her finger from the tuning key one-third of the way down the string toward the bridge at the lower end?

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
