The diagram above shows the wire of a sonometer box set into resonance by a vibrating tuning fork of frequency f, when the wire is stretched by a tension T, the resonating length of the wire is I while the wavelength of the sound produced is \(\lambda\). Which of the following statements is not correct? The wave produced on the wire is
-
stationary and lonitudinal
- stationary and mechanical
- mechanical and longitudinal
- progessive and transverse
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
The wave produced on the wire in the sonometer box is:
> Stationary (standing wave)
> Transverse, not longitudinal.
