decide to make one of the world’s largest musical instruments, using long cylindrical steel rods that are clamped tightly at both ends. The speed of longitudinal waves in rods of the type of steel you use is 5141 m/s and the steel has a Young’s modulus of 196 GPa. Part (a)  What is the density of the steel, in kilograms per cubic meter?  Part (b)  When a longitudinal wave is excited in one of the steel rods in your instrument to produce resonance, will the rod’s ends be nodes or antinodes?  Nodes     ✔ Correct!   Part (c)  A standard frequency for tuning musical instruments is 440 Hz for the pitch of A above middle C, denoted A4. What is the length, in meters, of the steel rod that produces the pitch A4 as its fundamental longitudinal resonance?  Part (d)  Assume, instead, that you want to create a smaller version of this, using the same kind of construction, with one rod of length 13.5 cm. What would the fundamental lo

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
