  2. Standing wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave

    The standing wave with n = 1 oscillates at the fundamental frequency and has a wavelength that is twice the length of the string. Higher integer values of n correspond to modes of oscillation called harmonics or overtones. Any standing wave on the string will have n + 1 nodes including the fixed ends and n anti-nodes.

  3. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    Vibration, standing waves in a string. The fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series. A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone.

  4. Melde's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melde's_experiment

    Standing waves, in which each immobile point represents a node. A string undergoing transverse vibration illustrates many features common to all vibrating acoustic systems, whether these are the vibrations of a guitar string or the standing wave nodes in a studio monitoring room.

  5. Franz Melde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Melde

    Standing waves, in which each immobile point represents a node. Franz Emil Melde (March 11, 1832 in Großenlüder near Fulda – March 17, 1901 in Marburg ) was a German physicist and professor . A graduate of the University of Marburg under Christian Ludwig Gerling , he later taught there, focusing primarily on acoustics , [ 1 ] also making ...

  6. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(physics)

    For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of the string are nodes. By changing the position of the end node through frets, the guitarist changes the effective length of the vibrating string and thereby the note played. The opposite of a node is an anti-node, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is at maximum. These occur ...

  7. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    As waves travel in both directions along the string or air column, they reinforce and cancel one another to form standing waves. Interaction with the surrounding air produces audible sound waves , which travel away from the instrument.

  8. Violin acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_acoustics

    [11] [12] Both ends of a violin string are essentially stationary when it vibrates, allowing for the creation of standing waves (eigenmodes), caused by the superposition of two sine waves travelling past each other. [13] [14] Waveform for a violin, the result of combining many simple waves [15] A vibrating string does not produce a single ...

  9. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    A standing wave (in black), created when two waves moving from left and right meet and superimpose. When a string of fixed length is driven at a particular frequency, a wave propagates along the string at the same frequency. The waves reflect off the ends of the string, and eventually a steady state is
