16PRACTICE PROBLEM
A wire of length L is stretched between two clamps. The tension in the wire is adjusted until standing waves are observed on the wire. The amplitude and wavelength of the traveling waves are respectively 4 cm and 1.6 m. What is the amplitude of the wire particle located at i) 0.8 m, ii) 0.4 m, and iii) 0.2 m away from the left clamp?
