To find the speed of the transverse wave in the string, we can use the formula:
v = λ * f,
where v is the speed of the wave, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.
In this case, the length of the string is 1.5m and the frequency is 80Hz. Since the string is fixed at both ends, only half a wavelength fits on the string. Therefore, the wavelength is equal to twice the length of the string, or 2 * 1.5m = 3m.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
v = 3m * 80Hz = 240 m/s.
Therefore, the speed of the transverse wave in the string is 240 m/s.
