Question

A string, stretched between two fixed posts, forms standing-wave resonances at 325 Hz and 390 Hz. What is the largest possible value of its fundamental frequency?

Answer 1

65

Step-by-step explanation:

The resonant frequencies for a fixed string is given by the formula nv/(2L).

Where n is the multiple .

v is speed in m/s .

The difference between any two resonant frequencies is given by v/(2L)= fn+1 – fn

fundamental frequency means n=1

i.e fn+1 – fn = 390 -325

= 65
