A Standing Wave is created in a 1.87-meter [L] stretched string. The wave speed is 130. m/s [v]. Calculate the wavelength [2₂, {m}] of the second harmonic. Calculate the frequency [fs (Hz)] for the fifth harmonic. Looking at the line below, neatly draw the standing wave for the fifth harmonic (i.e., n = 5) on scratch paper. Use a solid line for the forward wave and a dashed line for the reflected wave. The two dots on the line represent where the string is attached. Note: You will need to add more evenly spaced dots in your picture. See Example # 10.

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency …
