What type of waves do guitar and violin strings produce?
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.
How does tightening the string of a violin change its vibration?
There are some complex physics behind string vibrations. Essentially, the looser the string, the less nodes, or points where the sound waves go from crest to trough. This of course affects the frequency, or rate at which the string vibrates. So when the string is tightened, more nodes are created, and the frequency increases, increasing the pitch.
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.
What multiplicative factor would you increase tension if you double the speed of a wave on a 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.
How does sound travel through a string instrument?
it is produced by the string vibrating on the instrument when you strum it.
Why do standing waves have nodes?
Nodes are locations where waves are canceled by interference.
What type of waves have nodes that do not move?
standing waves
What type of wave is produced in banjo?
Standing sound waves.
What is the wavelength of the standing waves if the string is 1.5 m long?
The wavelength of the standing wave is 3.00 m, that is double the string length of 1.50 m.
Standing waves form stationary sites in their media called?
Nodes
When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called nodes.?
False
When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the point on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitude are called nodes?
false
Waves of nodes and antinodes occur in?
A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes.
What do standing waves do?
Standing waves (sometimes called stationary waves) are the result of interference between two progressive wave systems. They can occur in anything from flowing water to optical systems to transmission lines. Points of negative interference are called nodes and points of the wave crests and troughs central between nodes are called antinodes. At certain frequencies (resonances), the nodes will become stationary, and the wave appears not to move. What they do is a broader question, but one (of very many examples) would be the sound created by a stinged musical instrument, which depends on standing waves to produce its sound.

What are the highest and lowest points on a standing waves?
.I believe it is anti-nodes
