If the strings have different thicknesses, which of the following parameters, if any, will be different in the two strings? Check all that apply: wave frequency wave speed wavelength none of the above

Step 1
Step 1: Frequency is independent of the thickness of the strings, so it will be the same for both strings. Show more…

Two strings made from the same material, one thick and the other thin, are connected to form one long string. A wave travels along the string and passes the point where the two strings are connected. Which of the following change(s) at that point? a. Frequency of the wave. b. Propagation speed of the wave. c. Wavelength of the wave. d. Both propagation speed and wavelength. e. All of the above.

Predict/Calculate Two strings that are fixed at each end are identical, except that one is 0.560 $\mathrm{cm}$ longer than the other. Waves on these strings propagate with a speed of $34.2 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},$ and the fundamental frequency of the shorter string is 212 $\mathrm{Hz}$ (a) What beat frequency is produced if each string is vibrating with its fundamental frequency? (b) Does the beat frequency in part (a) increase or decrease if the longer string is increased in length?(c) Repeat part (a), assuming that the longer string is 0.761 $\mathrm{cm}$ longer than the shorter string.
How does the fundamental wavelength of standing waves on a string with one end fixed and the other free compare to the fundamental wavelength if the same string is held with both ends fixed?
