Clicker question 6<br />
A standing <strong>wave</strong> vibrates as shown to<br />
the right. If the tension is quadrupled<br />
while keeping the frequency and length<br />
<strong>of</strong> string constant, which standing <strong>wave</strong><br />
pattern is produced?<br />
L<br />
a) b) c)<br />
v = √T/µ = fλ<br />
⇒ λ ∝ √T<br />
no standing <strong>wave</strong><br />
for these conditions<br />
d) e)<br />
⇒ if T quadruples, λ<br />
doubles, and only one<br />
loop can fit inside L<br />
