Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:
f = n·fo
where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.
fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:
fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L
becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.
1). Take a sample of the substance. The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it.
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density. But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)
2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.
3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.
4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.
<em>D. Less luminous than those on the right []</em>
