A mass is hung from the end of a string with linear density 1.5 g/m around a small fric- tionless peg. For some values of this mass the string resonates with the vibrator's frequency and develops visible standing waves. A vibra- tor of constant frequency 258 Hz is attached near one end of the string. The vibrating length of the string is 2 m. 2 m H = 1.5 g/m 258 Hz m vibrator What is the mass m that will produce the standing wave shown? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

What beat frequencies result if a piano hammer hits three strings that emit frequencies of 127.8, 128.1, and 128.3 Hz?
Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number of k=3.00 m-1, an angular frequency of =2.50 s-1, and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle =12 rad. What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t=2.00 s and a position x=0.53 m?

Consider a string with under tension with a constant linear mass density. A sinusoidal wave with an angular frequency and amplitude produced by some external driving force. If the frequency of the driving force is decreased to half of the original frequency, how is the timeaveraged power of the wave affected? If the amplitude of the driving force is decreased by half, how is the timeaveraged power affected? Explain your answer.
Two strings are attached to poles, however the first string is twice the linear mass density mu of the second. If both strings have the same tension, what is the ratio of the speed of the pulse of the wave from the first string to the second string?
Check Your Understanding The equations for the wavelengths and the frequencies of the modes of a wave produced on a string: n=2nLn=1,2,3,4,5...andn=nv2L=nf1n=1,2,3,4,5... were derived by considering a wave on a string where there were symmetric boundary conditions of a node at each end. These modes resulted from two sinusoidal waves with identical characteristics except they were moving in opposite directions, confined to a region L with nodes required at both ends.Will the same equations work if there were symmetric boundary conditions with antinodes at each end? What would the normal modes look like for a medium that was free to oscillate on each end? Don’t worry for now if you cannot imagine such a medium, just consider two sinusoidal wave functions in a region of length L, with antinodes on each end.
