The speed of a wave travelling along a 0.650 m guitar string is 320 m/s at n = 5 the frequency is 1230 Hz. What is the frequency of a string wave speed of 240.0 m/s is used?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency of a string wave is 922.5 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 0.65 m

initial speed of the string wave at n = 5, v₁ = 320 m/s

initial frequency of the wave speed, f₁ = 1230 Hz

final speed of the string wave at n = 5, v₂ = 240.0 m/s

final  frequency of the wave speed, f₂ = ?

speed of wave is related to frequency of wave and wavelength by the following equation;

V = Fλ

If the wavelength is constant at n = 5, then

[tex]\lambda = \frac{V_1}{f_1} = \frac{V_2}{f_2}\\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1V_2}{V_1} \\\\f_2 =\frac{1230*240}{320} \\\\f_2 = 922.5 \ Hz[/tex]

Therefore, the frequency of a string wave, if speed of 240.0 m/s is used is 922.5 Hz
