Question

A string 2.0 m long and fixed at its ends is driven by a 240 H z vibrator. The string vibrates in its third harmonic mode. The speed of the wave and its fundamental frequency is, 320 m s - 1 , 120 H z, 320 m s - 1 , 80 H z, 180 m s - 1 , 80 H z, 180 m s - 1 , 120 H z

For a string fixed at both the ends, f = n 2 L v For third harmonic, 240 = 3 2 ( 2 ) v ⇒ v = 240 × 4 3 = 320 m s - 1 Fundamental frequency f 0 = 1 2 L v = 1 4 × 320 = 80 H z
