Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A string of length 3 m is fixed at both ends. If the wave speed on the string is 270 m/s, calculate the first four eigenfrequencies.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply \\( f_n = \\frac{nv}{2L} \\) for each harmonic.

Question 2

Describe how changing the tension in a string affects the standing wave patterns.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the relationships you've learned about speed and frequency.
