Question 1

What is the primary assumption about the flexibility of the string in the vibrating string model?

  • The string is stiff
  • The string is perfectly flexible
  • The string is rigid

💡 Hint: Think about how a rubber band behaves compared to a metal rod.

Question 2

True or False: The tension in a vibrating string is assumed to change during vibration.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how a guitar string vibrates under constant tension.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a string vibrates under varying tension due to temperature changes, how would this affect the wave equation derived under the constant tension assumption?

💡 Hint: Think about how wave speed depends on tension.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of a string with a non-uniform density on the wave behavior. How might this be modeled differently?

💡 Hint: Consider how density influences mass calculations in mechanics.
