Concept explainers

Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram illustrates the differences between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

- **Longitudinal Wave**:
- Shown with particles vibrating back and forth in the same direction as the energy transfer. The wave compressions and rarefactions are highlighted.
- The direction of energy transfer is parallel to the vibration of particles.

7. **According to the data table and graph below, what is the relationship between frequency and wavelength? Explain.**

---

#### Data Analysis:
The text refers to a "Data Table #2" and a graph titled "Frequency vs Wavelength". The specific details of these elements are not visible but typically, such graphs would illustrate an inverse relationship - as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases and vice versa. This relationship is governed by the wave equation:

\[ v = f \cdot \lambda \]

where \( v \) is the wave speed, \( f \) is the frequency, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength. Keeping wave speed constant, an increase in frequency results in a decrease in wavelength.

##### Expected Answer for Question 7:
According to the data table and graph, there is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. As the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases. This occurs because the product of frequency and wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave, which remains constant.
