Section 17presentation

The document discusses transverse and longitudinal standing waves. It states that standing waves on a string or tube can form a harmonic series where the frequencies are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. For a string fixed at both ends or a tube open at both ends, the frequencies are given by fn=n(v/2L), where n is a positive integer. For a tube open at one end, the frequencies are fn=n(4v/L). Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.

Section 17.

TRANSVERSE STANDING WAVES

The frequencies forms series of loops which are called harmonics=n f 1, the
lowest frequency f 1 is called 1st harmonic which correspond to the number of
loops n. The first frequency is called the fundamental frequency and the
preceding frequencies are called overtones.

Standing wave can be produced with the string fixed on both ends and the
standing wave will be defined by

f n=n ( 2vL ) ; n=1 ,2 , 3 … ..


Example 4

√
F
Use the two equations f n=n ( );

LONGITUDITAL STANDING WAVES

e.g flute, columns tubes

Standing wave can be produced with the tube open at both ends and the
standing wave will be defined by f n=n ( 2vL ) ; n=1 ,2 , 3 … ..

See example 6, which is


easy to follow.

Standing waves can also exist in a tube with open at only one end
f n=n ( 4vL ) ; n=1 ,3 , 5 … ..
