What kind of wave carries Waves on a String?
it's the transverse wave that carries waves on a string .b'caz waves on a string proceed along the length of the string but the particles of the medium that is the particles of the string move perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
How is sound created on the guitar?
When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates. The vibration of the string causes pressure waves in the air. The pressure waves are called "sound".
Why a longitudinal wave can not be made to travel along a string?
Longitudinal waves travel on a string!
How do sound waves travel through string?
This is a complex question - or rather the answer could be.In a violin for example, the strings rotate as well as vibrate.In a simple 'string and tin can phone" the waves are transverse waves carried by the taut string.Basically, your string can vibrate back and forth, normal to the string;or it may rotate round the axis along the string;or a mass may swing suspended by the string as in a pendulum.
Why does tightening a guitar string raise the pitch of the string when its played?
It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
Why does tightening a guitar string raise the pitch of the string when it is played?
It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
Why does tightening a guitar string raise the pitch of the string when it's played?
It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?
v=f*wavelength v=2*.5 v=1 m/s
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
it is produced by the string vibrating on the instrument when you strum it.
Examples of transverse waves?
waves produce in string fixed at one end sunlight as clear from polarization
Are waves plucked on a guitar string purely longitudinal wave?
No.
If the tension in the string is doubled what will be the effect on the speed of standing waves in the string?
The speed of the standing waves in a string will increase by about 1.414 (the square root of 2 to be more precise) if the tension on the string is doubled. The speed of propagation of the wave in the string is equal to the square root of the tension of the string divided by the linear mass of the string. That's the tension of the string divided by the linear mass of the string, and then the square root of that. If tension doubles, then the tension of the string divided by the linear mass of the string will double. The speed of the waves in the newly tensioned string will be the square root of twice what the tension divided by the linear mass was before. This will mean that the square root of two will be the amount the speed of the wave through the string increases compared to what it was. The square root of two is about 1.414 or so.
