Question

A string with a length of 6.2 m is vibrated at its natural frequency (first harmonic). What is the wavelength of the produced standing wave?

3.1 m

6.2 m

12.4 m

18.6 m

Answer 1

12.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of string = 6.2m

L = λ/2 (for natural frequency (first harmonic)

λ = 2L

λ = 2(6.2)

λ = 12.4m

Hence the wavelength of the produced standing wave is 12.4m
