Asked by Anna

A stretched string is attached to an oscillator. On which of the following quantities does the wavelength of the waves on the string depend? Select all that apply.

The choices are:
A) The frequency of the oscillator.
B) The tension applied to the string.
C) The amplitude of the oscillator's motion.
D) The linear mass density of the string.

I think the correct answers are A, B, and D.

Can someone tell me if I am right or not?

Thanks in advance!

A yes
B yes
C No
D yes

I agree.

The tension and mass density determine the speed of the wave along the string.
The input frequency is the wave frequency
wavelength = speed * period = speed/frequency
so
frequency, tension and mass density
right
