Electric Guitar Science Fair Projects

wavelengths and frequencies of an electric guitar?

for the science fair that I'm doing a project comparing the lengths of wave frequencies and based on a change in the fret. my question is, is there some kind of program I can download for free to measure it? also, I I have a guitar tuner and on the top left that says something like 400 Hz I know are the hertz unit for any wavelength or frequency, it is possible my tuner can do it? It was only like $ 20 …. Thanks for any help!

When you say that your tuner 400 Hz, This is the frequency. That's it. You've got it. Now, to convert the wavelength lambda * f = C, where f is frequency in Hz, C is the speed of sound in length / Second and Lambda is the wave at any speed you used Length per second to C. Then, look up the speed of sound in feet per second to say and use it to C. Then you will have the wavelength in feet, if you solve for lambda.
