Question

A transverse wave is produced on a stretched string 0.9 m long and fixed at its ends. Find the speed of the transverse wave, when the string vibrates while emitting second overtone of frequency 324 Hz.

Answer 1

If string vibrates in 2 overtone then 3(lambda/2)=0.9
Lambda=0.6
Speed=fre×lambda
S=194.4m/s
