a)
From the diagram, the frequency, f:
n is the number of loops, in this case, 2.
The velocity of the wave, v:
If the tension is quadrupled,
a) Suppose the tension is quadrupled while the frequency shaking the string is held constant. Will there be a standing wave? If so, draw it. If not, why not?
b) Suppose the tension is tripled while the frequency shaking the string is held constant. Will there be a standing wave? If so how many antitodes will it have? If not, why not?
