Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the relationship between the wavelength and harmonic number for a fixed string?

  • \\( \\lambda_n = \\frac{L}{n} \\)
  • \\( \\lambda_n = \\frac{2L}{n} \\)
  • \\( \\lambda_n = nL \\)

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how multiple wavelengths fit into the length of the string.

Question 2

True or False: Increasing the length of the string will increase the frequency of the eigenfrequencies.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Review the relationship between length and frequency.

Question 1

Calculate the eigenfrequencies for a fixed string of length 3.0 m made of a material generating a wave speed of 150 m/s up to the 4th harmonic.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to substitute correctly to find your frequencies.

Question 2

A guitar string is tuned to a fundamental frequency of 440 Hz. If the tension is increased by 25%, what will be the new fundamental frequency?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how tension affects frequency changes.
