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.

Question

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!

Answer 1

A yes
B yes
C No
D yes

I agree.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

thank you!

Answer 4

You are welcome.
