STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY If transverse waves of constant
