AbstractDuring the Physics 201 Lab, students conducted an experiment called the “VibratingString” to study the relationship between frequency, tension, wavelength and speed of a stringthat is being vibrated. Standing waves are defined as a vibrational patterned created within amedium when the frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end to interferewith incident waves from the source. Two strings of different thicknesses were vibrated until theirstanding waves were noticeable and then the tension and frequency of the wavelengths werecalculated out and recorded on a data table. Students predicted that as the wavelengthincreases, the tension of the string decreases.
