Tutorial 11 Problem 3 Standing Wave on a String More Practice A typical problem of standing waves on a string involves these three items: (1) The dependence of wave speed v on the tension F in the string and the linear mass density u (also called mass per unit length): L Sometimes μ is given as a stand-alone quantity; but sometimes a string is given in terms of its total length L and total mass m, where (2) The relationship between wave speed v wave frequency f or period T, where f-1 IT . and wavelength A IT= A (3) Identification of wavelength λ from a standing wave pattern. One wavelength λ covers TWO LOOPS m The linear mass density μ of the string s 3.0 x 10-3 k on the string mand the string is 1.4 m long The tension Finthe string is 27 NW en the string vibrates with a frequency f of 150 Hz, a standing wave pattern is created Part A – Calculate the wave speed in the string. Keep 2 digits. wave speed v= 96 m/s Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining Part B-Find the wavelength λ of the pattern. wavelength λ- 10.4
