Homework Statement
The fundamental frequency of a violin string is 283 Hz. Calculate the frequency of the 2nd harmonic.
Known:
f = 283 Hz
Homework Equations
v = fλ
f(n) = n*v/2L
λ= L
v(sound) = 343 m/s
The Attempt at a Solution
λ = 343/283 = 1.21 m
f(2) = 2*343/2*1.21 = 283 Hz.
I'm getting the same answer as the original problem and I'm not too sure where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated! Thankyou
