Answer:
The velocity of the waves in the string is 30 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the wave, F = 60.0 Hz
number of loops, n = 5
length of the string, L = 1.25 m
1 loop, L = λ/2
For 5 loops;
[tex]L = \frac{5\lambda}{2}[/tex]
where;
λ is the wavelength
[tex]L = \frac{5 \lambda}{2} \\\\5 \lambda = 2L\\\\\lambda = \frac{2L}{5} \\\\\lambda = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1.25}{5} \\\\\lambda = 0.5 \ m[/tex]
The velocity of the waves in the string is calculated as;
V = Fλ
V = (60)(0.5)
V = 30 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the waves in the string is 30 m/s.
