Standing waves photo Mara Stephen















We determined the speed of the wave on the string by using the speed=frequency times wavelength formula. We got the frequency to be 30.2 Hz and the wavelength to be 113 centimeters. We then converted 113 centimeters to be 1.13 meters. We multiplied 30.2 Hz by 1.13 meters to get 34.13 m/s to be the speed. We alos determined that there were 6 antinodes becasue there were 2.5 waves.
