1. The speed of the wave on your Cello string is: 90 m/s

The length of your string is: 690 mm

Keep in mind that the wavelength (λ), the frequency (f) and the wave speed (v) are related according to v = f λ.

(a) Draw the shapes of the motion of the string for vibration that your string will produce when plucked or bowed (up to the 6th Harmonic). (Of course, a plucked or bowed string will vibrate in multiple modes simultaneously.)

(b) Determine the wavelength (in centimeters) for each vibration.

(c) Determine the resonant frequency (in hertz) for each vibration.

(d) Determine the period (in seconds) for each vibration.
