Stationary waves on a stretched string
Note:
1. The nature and speed of waves formed in strings are different from those formed in air. The waves formed in strings are transverse waves, while those formed in air are longitudinal waves.
2. Stationary waves can be formed in stretched strings and closed/open pipes. Once they propagate into the air, they become progressive waves. Both the speed and wavelength are changed. Only their frequency remains unchanged.

Q:Q: The key on a piano corresponding to a note of frequency 440 Hz is pressed down very lightly so that the string is free to vibrate. When the key corresponding to a note of frequency 220 Hz is struck, it is found that the 440 Hz string emits a note of frequency 220 Hz.(a) Explain briefly the observation.(b) If the 110 Hz string is also free to vibrate, what frequencies, if any, would it emit when the 220 Hz key is struck?

(a) When the key corresponding to the frequency of 220 Hz is struck, the 440 Hz string is forced into vibration. It vibrates with the same frequency as that which causes the vibration. Hence a note of frequency 220 Hz is emitted.
(b) If the 110 Hz string is free to vibrate, it would also be forced into vibrating with the forced frequency 220 Hz or multiples of this frequency, i.e. 440 Hz, 660 Hz, ...

Q:Q: The fundamental frequency of vibration f of a wire of length stretched by a force T is given by f = A –1 T x
where A is a constant characteristic of the wire. The following readings of f were obtained for a wire of length 0.80 m under the tensions T stated.
(a) Explain briefly one method of measuring such frequencies without using a tuning fork.(b) By a graphical method, or otherwise, find the values of A and x in the equation.

Q:Q: The same wire was attached at one end to a vibrator, the arm of which produced a small transverse motion. The other end passed over a pulley so that the length of wire between the vibrator arm and the pulley was 0.80 m. A mass of 16 kg was attached to the free end of the wire. It was found that for a number of frequencies of the vibrator, the wire vibrated with large amplitude at certain points along its length.(c) Explain briefly why this happened.(d) Find the three lowest frequencies at which the effect was observed, and sketch the appearance of the vibrating wire in each case.

(a) The frequency f can be measured using a xenon stroboscope. The frequency of the xenon stroboscope is increased from zero until the vibration of the wire is frozen. When this happens, the frequency of the vibration of the wire f is equal to the frequency of the stroboscope.
(b) We have: f = A–1 Tx

(c) When the end of the wire attached to the vibrator vibrates, a transverse wave travels along the wire to the other end. At the pulley, the wave is reflected. The superposition of the incident and reflected waves produces a stationary wave on the stretched wire.The lowest frequency of the vibrator when this occurs (fo) = v/2where v = speed of the transverse wave along the wire and = length of the wire. Other frequencies when this occurs are 2fo, 3fo, ...
(d) The fundamental frequency is given by
The frequencies of the first and second overtones are 354 Hz and 531 Hz respectively.
