Question 1

are considered to be longitudinal waves.Thus, when representing this with
a standing wave, instead of the displacement, the air pressure (or how the sound was
generated) determines the amplitude of the wave.

Answer 1

Sound waves

Question 2

Determines the amount of energy that has been imparted to the wave which will
be carried or transmitted.

Answer 2

Amplitude

Question 3

• musical sounds with varying frequencies.
• an instrument’s own characteristic vibrational mode or
  standing wave pattern
• for musical instruments, different harmonic frequencies are related
  to each other by simple whole number rations.

Answer 3

Harmonics

Question 4

• The most fundamental harmonic for a guitar string is the
  harmonic associated with a standing wave having only one
  antinode positioned between the two nodes on the end of
  the string
• Longest Wavelength and Lower Frequency
• Fundamental Harmonics

Answer 4

First harmonic

Question 5

• produced by adding one more node between the ends of
  the guitar string
• The frequency is twice that of the Fundamental Harmonics
• this additional node gives the second harmonic a total of
  three nodes and two antinodes

Answer 5

Second harmonic

Question 6

• produced by adding two nodes between the ends of the guitar
  string.
• These additional nodes give the third harmonic a total of four
  nodes and three antinodes.
• The frequency is thrice that of the Fundamental Harmonies
• For this reason, the length of the string is equal to three-halves
  the length of the wave.

Answer 6

Third harmonic
