Find the number of natural transverse vibration of a string length l in the frequency interval from omega to omega +domega if the propagation velocity of vibrations is equal to v. All vibrations are supposed to occur in one plane.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose the string is stretched along the `x` axis from `x=0 t o x=l` with the end points fixed. Suppose `y(x,t)` is the transverse DISPLACEMENT of the element at `x` at time `t`. Then `y(x,t)` obeys
`(del^(2)y)/(delt^(2))=V^(2)(del^(2)y)/(delx^(2))`
We look for a stationary of this equation
`y(x,t)=A `sin`(omega)/(V) x sin (omegat+delta)`
where `A &delta` are constants.. In this from `y=0 at x=0`. The further condition
`y=0 at x=l`
implies `(omega l)/(v)=NPI, N gt 0`
`N` is the number of modes of frequency `le omega`
Thus `dN=(l)/(piV)d omega`
