The wavelength of a wave on a string is 1.2 meters If the speed of the wave is 60 meters per second what is its frequency?

speed = frequency × wave_length
→ frequency = speed ÷ wave_length = 1.2 m/s ÷ 60 m = 50 Hz.

What is the wavelength of a sound made by a violin string that has a frequency of 640 Hz if the sound is traveling at 350 meters per second?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)
What happens to the wavelength of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?
The wavelength is halved.
Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?
v=f*wavelength v=2*.5 v=1 m/s
What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?
I believe that the speed will remain constant, and the new wavelength will be half of the original wavelength. Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength). This depends on the method used to increase the frequency. If the tension on the string is increased while maintaining the same length (like tuning up a guitar string), then the speed will increase, rather than the wavelength.
A wave along a guitar string has a frequency of 440Hz and a wave length of 1.5m what is the speed of the wave?
v = f h, h = lambda = wavelength. f = frequency in Hz v = velocity therefore, v = 1.5 * 440 (the units of v in this case are meters per second).
A wave along a guitar string has a frequency of 440 Hz and wavelength of 1.5 m What is the speed of the wave?
since v=f(lambda), where v is the speed in metres per second, f is the frequency in hertz and lambda the wavelength in metres , for this question, v= 440 x 1.5=660m/s
Is a string vibrating at the fundamental frequency the length of half the wavelength?
This question can't be answered as asked. A string vibrating at its fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the speed of the produced sound through air, or any other medium. Different mediums transmit sound at different speeds. The formula for wavelength is L = S/F, were L is the wavelength, S is the speed through the medium and F is the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength depends on the speed of sound through the medium and directly proportional to the speed and inversely proportional to the frequency.
The string of a piano that produces the note middle C vibrates with a frequency of 262 Hz. If the sound waves produced by this string have a wavelength in air of 1.30 m what is the sound waves?
Question is to be corrected as to find the velocity of the sound waves Formula for velocity of the wave = frequency x wavelength Given frequency = 262 Hz and wavelength = 1.3 m So velocity = 262 x 1.3 = 340.6 m/s
When a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528 hz and also produces an overtone with a frequency of 1056 hz this overtone is the?
Second Harmonic
What factor determines the frequency in cycle per second?
It depends: the frequency of what? For example, in the case of a string moving back and forth, that would depend on the length of the string, on its mass, and on its tension.
The fundamental frequency of a string is 550 hz what is the first harmonic frequency of the string?
The first harmonic, is the fundamental frequency, or 550 Hz. The second harmonic would be twice that, or 1100 Hz. The third would be twice that, or 1650 Hz and so on...
What is the wavelength of sound waves produced by a guitar string vibrating at 440 Hz?
Wavelength = velocity of sound in the medium / frequency Here velocity is not given. Let it be 330 m/s So required wavelength = 330/440 = 3/4 = 0.75 m
