Second harmonic motion of a string 1.5m long fixed at both ends 80HZ.The speed of transverse wave in the string is

1 answer

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.
