One of the guitar wire mass is 0.5 g and length 30.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 20.0 N. A wave
with frequency 85.0 Hz and amplitude 0.8 mm travels along the wire.
How much power the wave may carry?
if the wave amplitude is halved What happens to average power?
On a certain guitar, the string is 61.4 cm long and has a linear mass density of 0.00525 g/cm. The fundamental frequency vibrates at 236 Hz.
a) What is the velocity of the transverse waves in the string?b) What is the tension in the rope?c) What will be the frequency of the 4th harmonic if the voltage is multiplied by 2?
A long string is connected to the wall with the other hand held by the instructor. The instructor connects the free end to a frequency generator which moves the free end up and down. This produces a wave on the string with regions moving up and down and other regions not moving.
What is the name of this feature?
The instructor sets the frequency to 20 hz initially. The string vibrates with a large amplitude only in the middle of the string. How many nodes are there? How many antinodes?
The instructor changes the frequency so the large amplitude is in three places along the string. How many nodes are there now? How many antinodes?
What is the frequency with three places in the string oscilating?
