Question

**What will hapen to the wavelength of the wave it the wave's frequency is doubled? -it will quadruple -it will stay the same -it will be Cut in half -it will double **The figure below shows a standing wave created in a string. If the length of the string is 5.0 m, what is the wavelength of this wave? ***In problem 7 if we assume that transverse waves propagate in this string at 400 m/s, what is the frequency of the wave? -200 Hz -80 Hz -800 Hz -278 Hz In the activity that we completed this week in the lab, lets assume that the speed of the sound in the air column is 330 m/s. the first and second maximum intensities (resonances) occur when the length of the air Column is 5 cm and 15 cm. wha tis the wavelength of the sound waves generated by the tuning fork? -20cm -10cm -15cm -5cm For the situation described in question 9. what is the frequency of the tuning fork? -6600 Hz -1000 Hz -1650 Hz -3300 Hz

Explanation / Answer

1) It will be cut in half

Use the relation, v = lamda*f

in a medium, v is constant.

so lamda1*f1 = lamda2*f2

if f2 = 2*f1

==> lamda2 = lamda1/2

2) 2m

total 5 loops.

so, 5*(lamda/2) = L

==> lamda = 2*L/5

= 2*5/5

= 2 m


3) 200Hz

v = lamda*f

==> f = v/lamda

= 400/2

= 200 Hz

4) 20 cm


5) 6600 Hz
f = v/lamda

= 330/0.05

= 6600 Hz
