speed of sound there? Call it v
(maybe around 350 m/s)
goes twice L
2 L = v T = 2.2 v
L = 1.1 v
(maybe around 350 m/s)
goes twice L
2 L = v T = 2.2 v
L = 1.1 v

The string on a violin has a fundamental frequency of 150.0 Hz. The length of the vibrating portion is 36 cm and has a mass of 0.51 g. Under what tension (in newtons) must the string be placed?

I have showed you how to do these.
speed = sqrt (T/u)
u = mass/length
distance for wave to travel in one period = 2L (because half a wave is fundamental)
T = distance/speed
frequency = 1/T
speed = sqrt (T/u)
u = mass/length
distance for wave to travel in one period = 2L (because half a wave is fundamental)
T = distance/speed
frequency = 1/T
