1. String, Wave Speed, and Basic Frequency
v = √(T/m)
n = v/(2l) = (1/(2l))√(T/m)
m = πr²ρ
T = Mg
2. Laws of Vibrating Strings
n ∝ 1/l or nl = constant
n ∝ √T
n ∝ 1/√m
3. Standing Waves and Modes of Vibration
y1 = a sin[(2π/λ)(vt − x)]
y2 = a sin[(2π/λ)(vt + x) + π] = −a sin[(2π/λ)(vt + x)]
y = −2a cos(2πvt/λ) sin(2πx/λ)
λ = 2l/p
n = (p/(2l))√(T/m)
4. Sonometer and Its Frequency Formula
n = (1/(2l))√(T/m)
n = (1/(2l))√(Mg/(πr²ρ))
