Answer all questions in the spaces provided.
0 1 A thin metallic rod of length 1.2 m is clamped at its center. The rod vibrates
and produces a stationary wave when struck lightly at one end.
0 1 . 1 Draw a diagram showing the fundamental mode of vibration of the rod. Label
the nodes and antinodes.
[2 marks]
0 1 . 2 If the speed of sound in the metal is 3400 m/s, calculate the frequency of the
fundamental mode. [3 marks]
