The length of a string is 296 cm. It is held
fixed at each end. The string vibrates in two
sections; i.e., the string has two antinodes,
and the string vibrates at 170 Hz.
Find the wavelength.
Answer in units of m.



Answer :

Answer:

To find the wavelength (\( \lambda \)), we can use the formula:

\[ \lambda = \frac{2L}{n} \]

Where:

- \( L \) is the length of the string.

- \( n \) is the number of antinodes.

Given:

- \( L = 296 \) cm = \( 2.96 \) m (converted to meters).

- \( n = 2 \) (since the string has two antinodes).

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \lambda = \frac{2 \times 2.96}{2} \]

\[ \lambda = 2.96 \]

So, the wavelength is \( \lambda = 2.96 \) meters.
