Q1. A wave on a Slinky has a frequency of 1.69 Hz. It takes 4.1 s to travel the length of the Slinky (0.29 m). What is the wavelength?
Q2. A steel wire with mass 23.7 g and length 1.71 m is strung on a bass so that the distance from the nut to the bridge is 1.10 m.
Work out the linear density of the string.
(b) What velocity wave on the string will generate the desired fundamental frequency of E1 string, 46.64 Hz?
(c) Compute the tension required to obtain the proper frequency.
(d) Compute the wavelength of the string's vibration.
(e) What is the wavelength of sound produced in air? (Suppose the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)
