A standing wave is formed on a string of a given tension, T, linear density, H, and length, L. If the tension in the string is divided by four (T' = T/4) while maintaining the same frequency (f' = f) of the standing wave and the same linear density (u' = µ) and length of the string (L' = L), then the new number of loops, n', on this string is equal to the old number of loops, n, multiplied by a factor of: V2 O 1/2 O 1/4 1//2

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.
