A string is fixed at both end. The mass of the string is 0.0090 kg and the length is 3.00 m. The string is under a tension of 200.00 N. The string is driven by a variable frequency source to produce standing waves on the string. Find the wavelengths and frequency of the first four modes of standing waves.
A string is tied between two lab posts a distance L apart. The tension in the string and the linear mass density is such that the speed of a wave on the string is v=343 m/s. A tube with symmetric boundary conditions has a length L and the speed of sound in the tube is v=343 m/s. What could be said about the frequencies of the harmonics in the string and the tube? What if the velocity in the string were v=686 m/s ?

Two strings are attached between two poles separated by a distance of 2.00 meters as shown in the preceding figure, both strings have a linear density of 1=0.0025 kg/m, the tension in string 1 is 600.00 N and the tension in string 2 is 700.00 N. Transverse wave pulses are generated simultaneously at opposite ends of the strings. How much time passes before the pulses pass one another?
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?
Two sinusoidal waves with identical wavelengths and amplitudes travel in opposite directions along a string producing a standing wave.

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.
