 A guitar string is fixed at both ends. If you tighten

A guitar string is fixed at both ends. If you tighten it to increase its tension the frequency of its fundamental vibrational mode will increase but the wavelength of this mode will not be affected. the wavelength of its fundamental vibrational mode will increase but the frequency is not affected. both the frequency and the wavelength increase. we don't have enough information to decide whether frequency and/or wavelength will change
