Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A string is stretched with a tension of 80 N and has a mass per unit length of 0.04 kg/m. Calculate the wave speed and the fundamental frequency if the string length is 1 m.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate wave speed first, then use it to find frequency.

Question 2

For a uniform string under tension varying from 10 N to 80 N, analyze how wave speed varies and describe the relationship.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer back to the formulas we've learned to link tension to wave speed.
