A stroboscope was used to determine the frequency of the string
oscillator. Strobe frequencies fs were recorded
where a single stationary image of the oscillating string was
observed. The frequency of the oscillator f can be
determined from the stroboscope frequencies fs
by f = nfs where n is an
integer corresponding to the number of oscillations per flash. The
strobe frequencies produced were determined and tabled below:
Strobe Frequency
fs Hz |
Oscillations per flash n |
23.2 | m |
15.3 | m+1 |
12 | m+2 |
9.1 | m+3 |
Note that m is an integer, that you need to determine.
