A student strikes a metal rail (L = 22 m) at one end and uses a piezoelectric gauge at the other end to determine that the beam produces a λ= 2 kHz sound wave that takes t = 0.0071 s to reach the end of the beam within the metal.
a) Input an expression for the period of the waves in the beam.
b) What is the period in s?
c) What is the velocity of the wave in the beam in m/s?
d)What is the wavelength of the sound waves within the beam in m?
