NOTICE: This is a 6th harmonic string, the last loop was cut out.

I started by finding the entire string's length which was 294cm. After that, I divided it by 3 to find the length of one wave (I divided that by 10 to convert it to meters). Finally, I multiplied that by the frequency, 41 Hertz, to get a speed of 40.18 m/s.

I turned off the flash on the camera to avoid heavy brightness.

We determined the speed of the wave by finding out how many antinodes there were. Since there were 5 all together, and two of the wavelengths equaled a whole. We multiplied 87, which was the total wavelength, by 34.8 which was the frequency that we started off with and we got a velocity of 3027.6m/s.
