Problem 1: A string of length 1.5 m oscillates in the standing wave pattern shown in the figure below.
The string has a linear density u =
acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/sec².
(a) What is the speed of the waves?
(b) What is the frequency of the oscillations?
(c) Suppose the string continues to oscillate with the frequency you found in part (b). How many nodes
will the standing wave pattern have if the suspended mass is now M

(a) Are sound waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
(b) Would you expect sound waves to travel faster or slower in a medium like water as compared to air? (Think about how the particles must interact to move a sound wave – would this be easier if the particles were closer together, like in water?
What steps would I take to better understand how
D(x,t) = f(x - v t) + g(x + v t)
could be a solution to the general wave equation?
