Answer:
C) 600 Hz
Explanation:
The fundamental frequency can be related to the driving frequency by the expression below;
f(n) = n * f(1)
Where f(1)= fundamental frequency
f(n) = driving frequency
There are four equal segments in the standing wave , then our n= 4 and our f(n)=4, then we can get the fundamental frequency here
f(4) = 4× f(1)
480 = 4× f(1)
f(1) = 480/4
f(1)=120Hz
Hence, fundamental frequency is 120Hz
To calculate the driving frequency that will set up a standing wave with five equal segments?
n=5
f(n) = n× 120Hz
f(5) = 5×120Hz
= 600Hz.
Hence, the driving frequency that will set up a standing wave with five equal segments is 600Hz
