Musical Instruments

Question 1

Use of resonance in string instruments

Answer 1

Stringed instruments use transverse waves in stretched strings to make a resonator

Question 2

Equation of speed of waves on stringed instruments

Answer 2

𝑣=√(𝑇/𝜇)

v = speed of the wave (m/s)
T = tension on the string (N)
𝜇 = mass per unit length - m/L (kg/m)

Question 3

Fundamental Mode

Answer 3

Not being played

Only has 1 antinode, so L=λ/2

Question 4

Harmonic

Answer 4

Number of half wave length
