Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A string being held under a tension of 80 N has a linear mass density of 0.02 kg/m. Calculate the speed of a wave traveling along this string.

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between tension and speed.

Question 2

If a wave travels in a string with a frequency of 10 Hz and a wavelength of 2 m, what is the tension in the string if its linear density is 0.01 kg/m?

💡 Hint: Connect speed, frequency, and wavelength to find the necessary parameters.
