Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings
A string is stretched between fixed points separated by 75.0 cm. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of 420 Hz and 315 Hz. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. The lowest resonant frequency for this string is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Consecutive resonant frequencies of a string differ by the fundamental: .
- (check: , ).
- So the answer is (b) .
