When the wire of a sonometer is plucked, what is the nature of waves (i) in the string (ii) in air?

A sonometer wire is divided in many segments using bridges. If fundamental natural frequencies of the segments are n_(1), n_(2), n_(3)….. then the fundamental natural frequency of entire sonometer wire will be (if the divisons were not made):

Stationary Waves in Stretched String

A tuning fork of frequency 500 Hz produces 8 beats/ second when sounded with a having sonometer wire. What must be the frequency of the sonometer wire, if a slight increases be the frequency of the sonometer wire,if a slight increases in its tension produces fewer beats per second that before ?

Two wires of the same material and same cross section are stretched on a sonometer. One wire is loaded with 1 kg and another is loaded with 9 kg. The vibrating length of first wire is 60 cm and its fundamental frequency of vibration is the same as that of the second wire. Calculate vibrating length of the other wire.

The equation of standing wave along a sonometer wire is given by y=2A cos ((2pi x)/(lambda)) sin omega t. This represent a standing wave having the origing as
