A string of length L fixed at its at its both ends is vibrating in its 1^(st) overtone mode. Consider two elements of the string of same small length at position l_1=0.2L and l_2=0.45L from one end. If K_1 and K_2 are their respective maximum kinetic energies then

A string of length L fixed at both ends vibrates in its fundamental mode at a frequency v and a maximum amplitude A. (a) Find the wavelength and the wave number k. (b) Take the origin at one end of the string and the X-axis along the string. Take the Y-axis along the direction of the displacement. Take t = 0 at the instant when the middle point of the string passes through its mean position and is going towards the positive y-direction. Write the equation describing the standing wave.
