A wave pulse on a string moves a distance of 8 m in 0.05 s.
(a) Find the velocity of the pulse.
(b) What would be the wavelength of the wave of the same string if its frequency is 200 Hz?
a) Given,
Distance travelled by the string, s = 8 m
Time taken for the pulse to move through the string, t = 0.05 s
Velocity of the pulse, v = s/t
v=
