Question

Discuss sources of error that could affect your result in this experiment. What additional steps could be taken to compensate for this error? How does the number of segments in a standing wave vary with the tension the string when the frequency is constant? How well do your measurements match the theoretical relationship between of segments and string tension? Can standing waves occur in the part of the string between the support rod and the wave driver? Explain. Please answer these question individually.

Explanation / Answer

Sources of error : Length measurement of the string, fortce measurement, temperature changes causing thermal stress , observational error etc

v is proportional to sqare root of T
and lambda is proportional to v
Number of segments = inversly proportional to wavelength
so number of segments are inversly proportional to the square root of the tension in the string
