A string is strung horizontally with a fixed tension. A wave of frequency 90 Hz is sent along the string, and it has a wave speed of 55.1 m/s. Then a second wave, one of frequency 180 Hz, is sent along the string. What is the wave speed of the second wave?

wave speed of the second wave 55.1 m/s

Explanation:

The wave speed of the second wave will going to be same i. e 55.1 m/s. As speed of wave is dependent on the medium and here in this case medium is remain same for second wave also i. e string only, no change in the medium noticed, therefore speed of second wave still remain same i. e 55.1 m/s.
