 What kind of wave
does the vibrating
string produce?
 A standing wave
 How do you calculate
the wavelength?
 The wavelenght is
twice the length of
the string
Physics Talk 5.3
 How does frequency
relate to pitch?
 The higher the
frequency, the higher
the pitch
 Equation for wave
speed
 Wave speed =
wave frequency x
wavelength
v  f

 How do we solve for
frequency?
 Rearrange the
equation to read

 What happened
when you shortened
the length of the
string?
 The wavelength was
shortened
 Pitch increased
 Frequency increased
 How is this shown in
the equation?
 Dividing by a smaller
number on the
bottom, gives us a
larger frequency
 If you have to share
something with fewer
people, you get more
Physics Talk 5.3
 What kind of
mathematical
relationship does this
show?
 Inverse Relationship
 What is an inverse
relationship?
 A relationship where
when one value
increases, the other
decreases, or as one
value decreases, the
other increases
Physics Talk 5.3
 How is frequency an
example of an
inverse relationship?
 Decreasing the
wavelength increases
the frequency
Physics Talk 5.3
 How are tension and
pitch related?
 Since the wavelength
did not change, and
the frequency
increased, this means
the wave speed
increased
 An increase in
tension, produces a
larger force, which
leads to a larger
acceleration on the
string (F=ma)
Physics Talk 5.3
 How are tension and
pitch related?
(continued)
 When the force
accelerates the
string, the wave
speed increases and
the string vibrates
faster
 Since the wave is
faster, the frequency
must also be faster,
leading to a higher
pitch
Physics Talk 5.3
 What is a direct
relationship?
 A relationship where
as one value
increases, the other
value also increases
 Example of direct
relationship
 Increasing the wave
speed also increases
the frequency and
pitch
Physics Talk 5.3
 How does increasing
the thickness of the
string lead to a
different pitch?
 When the string is
larger, it has a
greater mass for the
wave to travel
through
 This also means it
takes more force to
stop the string from
vibrating
 The force is the
tension in the string
Physics Talk 5.3
 How does increasing
the thickness of the
string lead to a
different pitch?
 Since the mass is
heavier, the
acceleration will be
less (F=ma)
 This creates a slower
wave speed
 Decreasing wave
speed will decrease
the frequency and
pitch
Physics Talk 5.3
 When do standing
waves occur?
 When the length of
the coiled spring or
string has a certain
relationship
 How does string
length related to
standing waves?
 The length much be
1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, etc of
the wavelength
Physics Talk 5.3
 Equation for standing
waves
 Standing waves occur
when the the following
equation is met:
n
L
2
L = string length
n = a whole number (1, 2, 3,
etc)
Lambda = wavelength
