A wave on a string has a wavelength of 0.90 m at a frequency of 600 Hz. If a new wave at a frequency of 300 Hz is established in this same string under the same tension, what is the new wavelength? Group of answer choices

Answer :

Answer:

 λ₂ = 1.8 m

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the string 1 = 0.90 m

frequency of the string 1 = 600 Hz

wavelength of string 2 = ?

frequency of the string 2 = 300 Hz

we now,

[tex]f\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{\lambda}[/tex]

now,

[tex]\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{600}{300}=\dfrac{\lambda_2}{0.9}[/tex]

λ₂ = 2 x 0.9

 λ₂ = 1.8 m

Hence, the wavelength of the second string is equal to  λ₂ = 1.8 m
