A rope of length and mass is fixed at one end and tied to a light string at the other end. The tension in the string is . Determine the wavelengths corresponding to the fundamental and the first two overtones.
Options
- A, ,
- B, ,
- C, ,
- D, ,
Correct answer
B. , ,
Step-by-step solution
The rope is fixed at one end and tied to a light string at the other end. The fixed end acts as a node and the end tied to the light string acts as a free end (antinode).
For a string fixed at one end and free at the other, the length is related to the wavelength by:
for
The allowed wavelengths are given by:
Given .
For the fundamental mode ():
For the first overtone ():
For the second overtone ():
