- Two sinusoidal waves with identical wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string producing a standing wave. The linear mass density of the string is =0.075 kg/m and the tension in the string is FT=5.00 N. The time interval between instances of total destructive interference is t=0.13 s. What is the wavelength of the waves?arrow_forwardA barrel organ is shown in Figure P18.38. Such organs are much smaller than traditional organs, allowing them to fit in smaller spaces and even allowing them to be portable. Use the photo to estimate the range in fundamental frequencies produced by the organ pipes in such an instrument. Assume the pipes are open at both ends. How does that range compare to a piano whose strings range in fundamental frequency from 21.7 Hz to 4186.0 Hz?
