Part A A very long string (linear density 0.5 kg/m) is stretched with a tension of 85 N. One end of the string oscillates up and down with an amplitude of 4 cm and a period of 0.35 s. What is the wavelength of the waves created in the string?

Step 1
Step 1: The speed of a wave on a string is given by the equation: $v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$ where $T$ is the tension and $\mu$ is the linear density. Show more…

A very long string (linear density 0.6 kg/m ) is stretched with a tension of 80 N . One end of the string oscillates up and down with an amplitude of 7 cm and a period of 0.35 s . What is the wavelength of the waves created in the string?

A 2.00 m long string has a mass of (A + 1.50) g. A (B + 25.0) g mass is attached to the string and hung over a pulley (see illustration from one of the team problems). The end of the string is then vibrated at a frequency of (125 + C) Hz. Find the wavelength for the wave generated. Give your answer in centimeters (cm) and with 3 significant figures. A = 21, B = 399, C = 9.

You are holding a string tied to a lamp post 15 m away. You pull the string so that it has a tension of 1.5 N and a mass density of 0.0045 kg/m. You shake the end of the string at 4 Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave you generate in m? You shake the string briefly to make a short sinusoidal pulse. How much time elapses between when you start shaking the string and when the reflected wave returns to your hand in s?
