A single mechanical wave moves through two strings. In the first string, the wave has a speed of 260 m/s and a wavelength of 1.8m. In the second string, the wave has a speed of 25 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the mechanical wave in the second string.

Accepted Answer

Using the concept of Mechanical-wave, we got 0.173m  as the wavelength of the second string.A mechanical wave is actually a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through the vacuum. Mechanical waves which require a medium in order to transport their energy from one point to another point. The sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are actually incapable of traveling through a vacuum.We are given a speed=260m/s and wavelength=1.8m of the first stringwe know that,speed = wavelength × frequencySo putting the value in the above formulafrequency = 260 / 1.8  ......(1)equationSimilarly, for the second string,we are given a speed=25m/s and frequency from (1) equationwavelength = (25×1.8)/260wavelength = 0.173mHence, the wavelength of the mechanical wave in the second string is 0.173m.To know more about the mechanical wave, visit here:https://brainly.com/question/3101711#SPJ9
