Problem

A string of length 1.2 m1.2\,\text{m} fixed at both ends is set into vibration. Two successive resonant frequencies are measured to be 200 Hz200\,\text{Hz} and 240 Hz240\,\text{Hz}. What is the speed of transverse waves on the string? a) 160 m s−1160\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} b) 48 m s−148\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} c) 96 m s−196\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} d) 480 m s−1480\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}
