A string is tied at both ends, and a standing wave is established. The lenght of the string is 2m, and it vibrates in the fundamental mode (n = 1). 1) If the speed of waves on the string is 50 m/s, calculate the wavelenght of the waves. (Express your answer in m and as an integer). 2)  If the speed of waves on the string is 50 m/s, calculate the frequency of the waves. (Express your answer to two significant figures).

Question

A string is tied at both ends, and a standing wave is established. The lenght of the string is 2m, and it vibrates in the fundamental mode (n = 1).

1) If the speed of waves on the string is 50 m/s, calculate the wavelenght of the waves. (Express your answer in m and as an integer).

2)  If the speed of waves on the string is 50 m/s, calculate the frequency of the waves. (Express your answer to two significant figures). 

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given and required

A string tied at both ends. The length of the string is,

                             L thin space equals space 2 space m

 The string vibrates in a fundamental mode.

Speed of the wave in string,

                              v space equals space 50 space m divided by s

We need to find,

a) The wavelength of the wave.

c) The wrequency of the wave.
