The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency of the vibration of the string, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a string of length \( L = 2.0 \, \text{m} \) with both ends fixed. It has a linear mass density \( \mu = 5.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/m} \) and is under a tension \( T = 52 \, \text{N} \). The string vibrates in a standing wave pattern with four antinodes. ### Step 2: Determine the Wavelength In a standing wave with both ends fixed, the number of antinodes \( n \) is related to the wavelength \( \lambda \) by the formula: \[ n = \frac{L}{\lambda/2} \] Given that there are four antinodes, we can write: \[ 4 = \frac{L}{\lambda/2} \] This implies: \[ L = 2 \times \lambda \quad \Rightarrow \quad \lambda = \frac{L}{2} \] Substituting \( L = 2.0 \, \text{m} \): \[ \lambda = \frac{2.0 \, \text{m}}{2} = 1.0 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Wave Velocity The velocity \( v \) of a wave on a string is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] Substituting the values for tension \( T = 52 \, \text{N} \) and linear mass density \( \mu = 5.2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/m} \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{52}{5.2 \times 10^{-3}}} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 5.2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0052 \, \text{kg/m} \] Now, calculating \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{52}{0.0052}} = \sqrt{10000} = 100 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Frequency The frequency \( f \) of the wave can be calculated using the relationship: \[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \] Substituting the values for \( v \) and \( \lambda \): \[ f = \frac{100 \, \text{m/s}}{1.0 \, \text{m}} = 100 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the frequency of the vibration is: \[ \boxed{100 \, \text{Hz}} \] ---
