A piano wire 0.5m long has a total mass of 0.01kg and is stretched with a tension of 800N. Calculate the frequency of the wire when it sounds its fundamental note
The speed of sound in air at sea level is 340ms\(^{-1}\) while that of light is 300 000kms\(^{-1}\). How far (to the nearest meter) from the center of a thunderstorm is an observer who hears a thunder 2s after a lightning flash?
