The fundamental frequency of a wave along a taut string is
f=√(T/m)/(2L)
T=tension in N
m=mass of string in kg/m
Since the fundamental mode of vibration consists of only half a wave, the wave velocity is f*2L, or
λ=√(T/m).
Here N=139 N, m=0.0036 kg/m
v=√(139/0.0036)= 196.5 m/s
f=√(T/m)/(2L)
T=tension in N
m=mass of string in kg/m
Since the fundamental mode of vibration consists of only half a wave, the wave velocity is f*2L, or
λ=√(T/m).
Here N=139 N, m=0.0036 kg/m
v=√(139/0.0036)= 196.5 m/s
