A particular violin string plays at a frequency of 294 Hz. If the tension is increased 22%, what will the new frequency be?

검증된 단계별 안내

The frequency of a vibrating string is given by the formula:

f = \frac{1}{2} L \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}

, where

f

is the frequency,

L

is the length of the string,

T

is the tension, and

μ

is the linear mass density of the string.

Since the length

L

and the linear mass density

μ

remain constant, the frequency is proportional to the square root of the tension:

f ∝ \sqrt{T}

Let the initial tension be

T

and the initial frequency be

f

₁ = 294 Hz. The new tension is increased by 22%, so the new tension is

T

₂ = 1.22T.

The new frequency

f

₂ can be expressed as:

f

₂f₁ = T₂T₁. Substituting

T

₂ = 1.22T and

T

₁ = T, we get:

f

₂f₁ = 1.22.

Finally, solve for

f

₂ by multiplying both sides of the equation by

f

₁:

f

₂ = f₁1.22. Substitute

f

₁ = 294 Hz to find the new frequency.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Frequency

Frequency is the number of cycles of a periodic wave that occur in one second, measured in hertz (Hz). In the context of a vibrating string, frequency is directly related to the pitch of the sound produced. The frequency of a string can be influenced by factors such as tension, length, and mass per unit length.

Tension in a String

Tension refers to the force applied along the length of a string, which affects its vibration and, consequently, the frequency of the sound it produces. Increasing the tension of a string generally raises its frequency, as a tighter string vibrates faster. The relationship between tension and frequency is described by the formula: frequency is proportional to the square root of tension.

Wave Equation for Strings

The wave equation for strings relates the frequency of a vibrating string to its tension and linear mass density. Specifically, the frequency (f) can be calculated using the formula f = (1/2L) * √(T/μ), where L is the length of the string, T is the tension, and μ is the mass per unit length. This equation highlights how changes in tension directly affect the frequency of the sound produced by the string.
