  • Not all waves travel across the ocean or across the universe. Some are stuck in a certain spot! Like the vibrations of the strings on a guitar. What's the deal with these standing waves? And what's this, quantization? Oh my! We'd better learn about this concept before digging into modern physics.

    These videos are excellent. He's so good at condensing all the information together in a way that doesn't overwhelm you. He gets right to the point -- no fluff, but somehow also gives enough details for it to all make sense. He's got a real gift for communication!

    Great video!
    A minor point in the grand scheme of things, but modern tuning systems do not use integer ratios as the basis for frequencies, but irrational numbers. Sometimes they are close, for example the fifth and the fourth, but sometimes they are quite far apart.
    Ultimately, this is because rational intervals cannot subdivide the octave, so if you use rational intervals you'll always run into problems with intervals which sound bad. By using irrational intervals, you can spread out the error to make the tuning system more flexible.

    I first became aware of standing waves and room nodes in the later 1970's. Room size, acoustics and shape can disastrously affect sound. I have used, to good effect, a graphic equalizer since 1978 in my audio chain. An anechoic chamber might not be practical in your home (mine neither) but a quality EQ can help a lot. I've used an ADC Sound Shaper Two IC since purchase in 1982. Thanks for the lucid explanation of this phenomenon.

    I really like the way you are explaining these concepts!! I do this in my personal note-taking where I will take a complex term and break it down into simpler terms and then try to "walk" my way through the terms in a sequence that makes the "bigger picture" easy to imagine as a progression of ideas that build off of each other in an obviously related way. You do this better than I've seen anyone do in a video before!! Thank you so much, very inspiring!!

    It's really cool that colors also follow rules of math. That's why certain colors look so good together even though they aren't alike at all. Ex blue and yellow.
    While certain look hideous when put together ex. Orange and pink.
    There is a geometric relation of contrast, grading and a whole color theory to be studied.
    Math is awesome!

      not sure that colors that "look good together" is tied to standing waves- that's fairly subjective. But standing waves and light ARE the reasoning behind why you can see rainbow patterns in oil on water, or why certain insects can have dazzling colors

  • @MelloCello7
    @MelloCello7 Před 5 lety +2

    Good sh*t man!
    But on the real, I was looking for a clear and concise explanation of this phenomena, the "must have 0 amplitude at the boundaries" really did it for me.
    My question is what if you tried to force an incompatible frequency into a wave with a fixed boundary??

    • @veenabijalwan1226
      @veenabijalwan1226 Před 5 lety +1

      Standing waves are a special case of wave interference, for an incompatible wave (different w, where w is angular frequency), you can use the superposition priciple to check the amplitude of the resultant wave. The new wave wont be a standing wave but an interference result.
      For example,
      For a 2 mechanical waves on string which are moving in same direction, we can interfere them as-
      Y1(x,t) + Y2(x,t).
      It shall come out to be -
      2a cos@/2 sin(kx-wt+@/2) where @ will be the phase difference between them.
      So interference of two diffferent waves can be calculated this way.

    Many thanks for an informative video. May I ask a question: do I understand correctly that an octave is the sum of the first and second harmonics (or in fact just the second harmonic) and a fifth is the sum of the second and third harmonics (or just the 3rd harmonic in fact). Cheers, in anticaption, John Roberts.

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      An octave is a 12-semitone interval between two frequencies that have a ratio of 2 between them. A fifth is a 7-semitone interval, that has a 1:1.5 ratio between the frequencies

    Why can't we have *Transcendental multiples* of Fundamental frequency? And what are some systems that exhibit Non-harmonic behavior?

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před 2 lety

      We can. One example of such a system is the vibrations on a drum head, where you need a Bessel function to calculate the natural frequencies. This is why a drum has a characteristic percussive sound, where it doesn't register as a music note to us. It is a mix of frequencies that don't fit their waveforms together, like the harmonics of melodic instrument sounds.
      It is the case for standing waves on a string, that the harmonics have to be integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
