Find the first three harmonics of a string of linear mass density 2.00 g/m and length 0.600 m when it is subjected to tension of 50.0 N.

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to find the frequency of each harmonic:

n = nth harmonic

L = length of string (m)

T = Tension of string (N)

λ = linear density (kg/m)

Begin by converting the linear mass density to kg:

2.00g /m · 1 kg / 1000g = 0.002 kg/m

Now, we can use the equation to find the first three harmonics.

First harmonic:

Second harmonic:

Third harmonic:

you'd use the equation that establishes a relationship between  energy  and  wavelength, which looks like this

e=h⋅cλ, where

λ  - the wavelength of the photon; c  - the speed of light, usually given as  3⋅108m/s; h  -  planck's constant, equal to  6.626⋅10−34j s

plug the value you were given for the energy of the photon in the above equation to get the wavelength

e=h⋅cλ⇒λ=h⋅ce

λ=6.626⋅10−34js⋅3⋅108ms−1.257⋅10−24j=1.581⋅10−1m
