THE PRACTICE STUDIO
Go slowly. Ask why. Make it yours.
PRACTICE / Standing waves
Fit the longest standing wave on a string.
A uniform string of length 0.80 m is fixed at both ends. Its tension is 80 N and its linear mass density is 0.002 kg/m.
What is the fundamental frequency?
Organize the givens & assumptions
- Length: 0.80 m
- Tension: 80 N
- Linear density: 0.002 kg/m
Small transverse oscillations, uniform tension and density, negligible stiffness and damping.
