A string can have a "free" end if that end is attached to a ring that can slide without friction on a vertical pole (Fig. $11-57 )$ . Determine the wavelengths of the resonant vibrations of such a string with one end fixed and the other free.

Problem: consider a long string fixed at one end, find the allowed vibrations of the string. The boundary conditions mean that there is only one node (fixed point). The other boundary is an antinode. We need to find the allowed resonant frequencies and corresponding wavelengths. This type of waves may be formed in a flute or organ pipe with one open end and one close end.

One end of a $120-\mathrm{cm}$ string is held fixed. The other end is attached to a weightless ring that can slide along a frictionless rod as shown in Fig. $18-28$. What are the three longest possible wavelengths for standing waves in this string? Sketch the corresponding standing waves.
Vibrations from a 622 Hz tuning fork set up standing waves in a string clamped at both ends. The wave speed for the string is 388 m/s. The standing wave has only one loop. Find the length of the string. Also, find the tension of the string if the string has mass 1 g.
