Question

You take a set of measurements for the wavelengths and frequencies of standing waves on a string that is under a tension of 2.20 N. You use your data to create a plot of wavelength (in m) vs inverse frequency (in s) and the linear fit of your graph gives a slope of 19.0. What is the linear mass density of the string in kg/m?

Answer 1

If a standing wave with 10 antinodes occurs at a frequency of 44.1 Hz, at what frequency would you look for the n = 2 standing
