P = \frac{1}{2} \mu \omega ^ {2}A ^ {2} v , v = \sqrt \frac{T}{\mu}

P = \frac{1}{2} \mu \omega ^ {2}A ^ {2} A^{2}\sqrt{T \mu}

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{2P}{A^{2}\sqrt{T\mu}}} = 30 Hz

 

Intensity of the wave -

I = \frac{1}{2}\rho \omega ^{2}A^{2}V

\rho = mass density

\omega = angular frequency

A = Amplitude

V = Wave speed

 

- wherein

flow of energy per unit area of cross section of the string in the unit time is known as intensity of wave.
