Step 1
We know the period of the wave (T) and the number of harmonics (n). We can use the formula T = n*(1/2L)*sqrt(mu/F) to find the linear mass density (mu) of the string. Show more…

11. A string fixed at one end only is vibrating in its ninth harmonic mode. Sketch the wave. The speed of a wave on the string is v = 25.8 m/s and the string has a length of 8.25 m. What is the frequency of this wave? What is the wavelength of the wave? What is the fundamental frequency?

A string, fixed on both ends, is 5.00 m long and has a mass of 0.15 kg. The tension of the string is 90 N. The string is vibrating to produce a standing wave at the fundamental frequency of the string (1) What is the speed of the waves on the string? (2) What is the wavelength of the standing wave produced? (3) What is the period of the standing wave?

You have a long string, and you oscillate one end, causing a (transverse) wave to propagate along it. The wave's formula is D=0.67sin(3.4x-33t) where displacement D and position x are given in meters and time t is given in seconds. 1.What is the distance between 2 adjacent points of zero displacement on this wave? 2. What is the frequency of this wave? 3.What is the speed of this wave? 4.What is the amplitude of this wave? 5. Determine the maximum and minimum transverse speeds of particles of the string.
