Standing waves on a 1.6-mm-long string that is fixed at both ends are seen at successive frequencies of 36 Hz and 42 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency? What is the wave speed?
Added by Jose Carlos C.
Step 1
Substitute the values: 42/36 = (n+1)/n Solve for n: n = 1 Therefore, the fundamental frequency (F1) is 36 Hz. Show more…

The fundamental frequency of a string fixed at both ends is $256$ $\mathrm{Hz}$ How long does it take for a wave to travel the length of this string?
An experimenter finds that standing waves on a string fixed at both ends occur at $24 \mathrm{Hz}$ and $32 \mathrm{Hz},$ but at no frequencies in between. a. What is the fundamental frequency? b. Draw the standing-wave pattern for the string at 32 Hz.
