Question
A nylon guitar string has a linear density of 7.2 g/m and is under a tension of 150 N. The fixed supports are distance D=90.0 cm apart. The string is oscillating in the standing wave pattern shown below. Calculate the frequency of the traveling wave whose superposition gives the standing wave below. Hint: First determine the wave speed then determine the wavelength based on standing wave geometry. Then determine the frequency based upon the velocity and wavelength.
