What is maximum possible wavelength of standing waves in 1m long string if it is fixed at both ends

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum possible wavelength of standing waves in a 1-meter long string that is fixed at both ends, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: The string is fixed at both ends, which means that the ends of the string are nodes (points of no displacement). 2. **Identifying the Wavelength**: ...

Standing Wave Vibrations of string fixed at both ends

You have a microwave generator that can produce microwaves at any frequency between 1 GHz and I0 GHz . The microwave radiation enters a 10 cm long cylinder with reflective cnd caps, as shown in the figure. What frequency of the microwave generator (in GHz ) will produce the lowest-order' standing wave with an antinode (maximum) in the center of the cavity? Note that with reflectors at both ends, the electromagnetic standing wave acts just like the standing wave on a string that is tied at both ends. Take velocity of waves as 3 xx 10^(8) m / s.

  • Estimation of frequency of a wave forming a standing wave represented by y = A sin kx cos t can be done if the speed and wavelength are known using speed = "Frequency" xx "wavelength" . Speed of motion depends on the medium properties namely tension in string and mass per unit length of string . A string may vibrate with different frequencies . The corresponding wavelength should be related to the length of the string by a whole number for a string fixed at both ends .
