waves on strings

• step 1

  turn on signal generator and vibration transducer

  string will start to vibrate
• step 2

  adjust frequency of signal generator until theres a clear wave on the string
• step 3

  measure lengths of 4/5 wavelengths then divide to get mean half wavelength

  double this to get a full wavelength
• step 4

  frequency of the wave is what the signal generator is set to
• step 5

  speed = frequency x wavelength
