17.8 Exercise 29

Avg difficulty 2.5

A string on the violin has a length of 23.00 cm and a mass of 0.900 grams. The tension in the string 850.00 N. The temperature in the room is TC=24.00°C.T_{C} = 24.00 ° \text{C} . The string is plucked and oscillates in the n=9n = 9 mode. (a) What is the speed of the wave on the string? (b) What is the wavelength of the sounding wave produced? (c) What is the frequency of the oscillating string? (d) What is the frequency of the sound produced? (e) What is the wavelength of the sound produced?
