Speed of Waves on Strings

CSEF · 2014 Physics & Astronomy

Minkyung Kim · Ribet Academy, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objectives of this experiment is to calculate the velocity of a standing sinusoidal wave and to investigate the relationship between number of nodes and wavelength. Methods/Materials Different kinds of strings and different masses (tensions), generator, pulley, and vibrator are used in this experiment. Results Results include the datas of theoretical and empirical velocities, wavelength, frequency, tension, number of nodes, and mu of the waves on the strings. Conclusions/Discussion Conclusions conclude that there is discrepancy between the theoretical and empirical velocity, and will explain the reason.
