Answer

(a) $0.56Hz$ (b) $2.2m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required frequency as $f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{1}{2(3.14)}\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.78}}$ $f=0.56Hz$ (b) We know that $v=(\frac{nh}{\pi m})^{\frac{1}{2}}(\frac{g}{l})^{\frac{1}{4}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=[\frac{(1.0\times 10^{33})(6.63\times 10^{-34})}{(3.14)(0.15)}]^{\frac{1}{2}}[\frac{9.80}{0.88}]^{\frac{1}{4}}$ $v=2.2m/s$
