Harmonics of stationary waves on a string

Question 1

relationship between length and wavelength

Answer 1

L = mλ/2 (m = number of harmonic)

Question 2

relationship between the number of harmonic and antinodes

Answer 2

Number of harmonic is equal to the number of antinodes

Question 3

What are harmonics and how ar etey formed on a wave on a string ?

Answer 3

Multiple wavelengths can be produced on a fixed length or string. (They have correspondingly different frequencies). The different frequencies are called harmonics.

Question 4

1st harmonic equation

Answer 4

f1 = c/λ1 = c/2L

Question 5

2nd harmonic equation

Answer 5

f2 = c/λ2 = c/L

Question 6

3rd harmonic equation

Answer 6

f3 = c/λ3 = 2c/3L

Question 7

How is the equation formed

Answer 7

Each stationary wave has frequency (2x,3x,4x ect) of first harmonic.
