I am doing the same problem as well. So from what I have read, since the frequency of the tubes does not change, the wavelength of the standing wave would be 56.7-42.5=14.2cm or 0.142m. Then I would take the speed of sound divided by the wavelength to get the frequency, am I correct? Also, is...
Sorry for the late reply, the way I approached the question was correct. My answer was incorrect because the linear mass density in the question was in g/m while I needed to convert to kg/m. This question took me hours to figure out, I was sure the way I was doing was correct.
For future...
I still don't quite get what the "vibrating section" of the violin string is. Are you saying that it is the length of the string; which makes no sense. I think the harmonic for stringed instruments is one or m = 1. Somewhere in between I have to use this formula:
f1 =...
Homework Statement
A particularly beautiful note reaching your ear from a rare Stradivarius violin has a wavelength of 39.1 cm. The room is slightly warm, so the speed of sound is 344 m/s.
If the string's linear density is 0.620 g/m and the tension is 160 N, how long is the vibrating section...
