Question 1
What is the definition of a transverse wave?
- A wave where particles move in the same direction as wave propagation
- A wave where particles move perpendicular to wave propagation
- A wave that travels in a vacuum
π‘ Hint: Think about the direction of particle movement relative to the wave's travel.
Question 2
True or False: The wave speed on a string is independent of tension.
- True
- False
π‘ Hint: Consider the formula relating tension to wave speed.

Question 1
A transverse wave travels on a string with mass per length of 0.2 kg/m at a tension of 80 N. Determine the frequency of the third harmonic in a 1.5 m long string.
π‘ Hint: Focus on the relationships between wave speed, tension, mass, and harmonic frequencies.
Question 2
If a wave traveling in a string is reflected at a fixed boundary, what characteristics change, and how can you prove this mathematically?
π‘ Hint: Consider how boundary conditions impact wave functions and observe the mathematical representation.
