Question
Problem 23: Using special techniques called string harmonics (or "flageolet tones"), stringed instruments
can produce the first few overtones of the harmonic series. While a violinist is playing some of these harmonics for
us, we take a picture of the vibrating string (see figures). Using an oscilloscope, we find the violinist plays a note
with frequency f= 780 Hz in figure (a).

Part (b) How many antinodes does the standing wave in figure (a) have?
Part (c) The string length of a violin is about L = 33 cm. What is the wavelength of the standing wave in figure (a) in meters?
Part (d) The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency that a string can vibrate at (see figure (b)). What is the fundamental frequency for our
violin in Hz?
Part (e) In terms of the fundamental frequency f1, what is the frequency of the note the violinist is playing in figure (c)?
Part (f) Write a general expression for the frequency of any note the violinist can play in this manner, in terms of the fundamental frequency fi and
the number of antinodes on the standing wave A.
Part (g) What is the frequency, in hertz, of the note the violinist is playing in figure (d)?
