If you mean a wave on a string, no - that's a different type of wave.
A string has a node at the fixed parts of each string end.
yes, Its possible to have a longitudinal wave on a stretched string by stroking it along its length by a rosined cloth. However, in the wave motion of a stretched string ( tant string with fixed ends) wave (disturbance) produced at one fixed end travels along the length of the string and get reflected back at the other end. Since the original wave and the reflected wave have the same frequency and amplitude, they superimpose to produce stationary transverse disturbance.
Frequence of a wave is how often a string oscillates on a specific point between crests. So if the speed of the string is lowered, the crests of the wave will pass the point less often, causing lower frequency
A wave is propagating along the string that has a length of 2 m and is under a tension of 48 (a)Determine the velocity of the wave along the string (c)The mass of the string N. The displacement of the string is given by S(y,t) = 0.024sin(0.6y –7t) (b)The wavelength of the wave (d)The power carried by t

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.

Compression wave

Longitudinal waves travel on a string!
A wave is propagating along the string that has a length of 2 m and is under a tension of 48 (a)Determine the velocity of the wave along the string (c)The mass of the string N.

the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement
In the string itself, a standing wave is created. This occurs when the string vibrates as the wave in it travels along, reflecting and then traveling back again. In the air around the string, a longtitudinal wave is formed. This occurs when the string pushes ("compresses") and then pulls ("rarefies") the gases, making the energy travel along away from the string itself.
The pitch is determined by by the frequency in which the string is swinging, which, in turn, is determined by the speed with which a wave can travel through the string. The higher the tension in the string is, the easier it is for a wave to travel through it, and if the speed of the wave increase, so will the frequency, and by default the pitch of the note. And vice versa. If I remember my physics correctly :)
There are basically three types of waves in nature. 1) Transverse wave. 2) Longitudinal wave. 3) Matter waves. Transverse wave is the one in which the motion of particles takes place in the direction perpendicular to that of the propagation of the wave. For example consider the vibration in the string. The wave goes along the length of the string but the string particles maintain a to and fro motion in a direction normal to that of the string. A snapshot of a vibrating string will resemble the graph of a sine or cosine function. This is how a typical mechanical wave propagates. It may also be noted that it requires no medium for transmission On the contrary a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.In a longitudinal wave, propagation takes place in a direction of motion of particles.i.e the particles are in state of compression and rarefactions. plus it requires a medium for transmission
