Question

A guitar string resonates at a frequency of 500 Hz forming a standing wave
pattern with 5 loops. What is the fundamental frequency?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since all the harmonics or frequencies can be seen in vibrations of stretched string

If one loop is formed it is fundamental frequency.

Since 5 loops are formed it is the fifth harmonic.

All the frequencies are in the ratio 1:2:3:....

So fundamental frequency = 500/5

=100Hz

Plz mark be

Answer 2

100 Hz

The combination of two waves flowing in different directions, each with same amplitude and frequency, is known as a standing wave. Interference causes the occurrence; when waves are overlaid, their energies either are added together or cancelled out. Interference between waves flowing in the same directions results in a travelling wave. Interference between waves that are travelling in opposite directions results in a stationary oscillating wave.
