Questions
Question 1
*
A string has length \(0.90\,\mathrm{m}\). Find the wavelength of its fundamental mode.
Question 2
*+
If the fundamental frequency of a string is \(110\,\mathrm{Hz}\), what is the second-harmonic frequency?
Question 3
**
A string supports waves at \(150\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}\) and has length \(0.75\,\mathrm{m}\). Find the third-harmonic frequency.
Question 4
**+
How many interior nodes does the \(n=5\) mode of a string fixed at both ends have?
Question 5
***
A string has \(f_1=80\,\mathrm{Hz}\). A standing wave is observed at \(320\,\mathrm{Hz}\). What mode number is this?
Question 6
***
Two strings carry waves at the same speed. String B is twice as long as string A. Compare their fundamental frequencies.
Question 7
****
String A has length \(L\) and string B has length \(2L\). The wave speed is the same in both strings. Find a pair of nonzero mode numbers \((n_A,n_B)\) for which the two strings can share the same normal-mode frequency.
Question 8
****+
Two strings have lengths \(L_A\) and \(L_B\) and wave speeds \(v_A\) and \(v_B\). Derive the condition relating mode numbers \(n_A\) and \(n_B\) for the two strings to have equal normal-mode frequencies.
