A guitar string lies along the x-axis when in equilibrium. The end of the string at x = 0 is fixed. A sinusoidal wave with amplitude 0.75mm and frequency 440Hz, travels along the string in x-direction at 143m/s. It is reflected from the fixed end, and the superposition of the incident and reflected waves forms a standing wave.

(a) Find the equation giving the displacement of a point on the string as a function of position and time.

(b) Locate the nodes and antinodes.

The end of a long string of mass per unit length µ is knotted to the beginning of another long string of mass per unit length µ0 . The tensions in these strings are equal. A harmonic wave travels along the first string toward the knot. This incident wave will be partially transmitted into the second string, and partially reflected. The frequencies of all these waves are the same. With the knot at x = 0, we can write the...

A composite string is made up of a short length of heavy string (µ1) and a very very long length of much lighter string (µ2 µ1). The light end of the string is attached to a pole very far away. The string is held under tension by passing the heavy end over a pulley and attaching it to a bag full of sand. The heavy segment of the string has length L (between the pulley and the knot between the...
