Standing Waves help! 30 mins left. Hello everyone who's here, so far I've been doing great on waves, but what the heck is standing eave? Here is a problem that I kinda get, but not completely: Two strings, with the same mass/length m oscillate with the same frequency f=2.00 Hz. The first...

I am reading an article on black holes and they state, "Now what kinds of waves are possible inside a black hole? The answer is standing waves, waves that "fit" inside the black hole with a node at the event horizon." Can anyone explain to me why they know the answer is standing waves, and...

The velocity of waves on a string is 92 m/s. If the frequency of standing waves is 475Hz, how far apart are two adjacent nodes? W = Wavelenght f = v/W W = 92/475 = 0.194 m At this stage, I thought the answer was sufficient. However, maybe it is because i don't udnerstand the...

so my problem deals with resonance in standing waves if you have a standing wave in a long pipe of length 2.90m and that is closed on the left end and open on the right end and the graph of it is as below, with x-axis the position along pipe and y-axis vertical air displacement...

Standing waves on strings... :smile: I understand how to produce standing waves on a string when we have a vibrator at one end, as you usually use in demonstrations in physics classes. ie - increase frequencies until we achieve the correct kind of interference to produce standing wave...

Hi We just did a lab on waves and one in particular I'm unsure about. We set up standing waves on a spring and observed the period of each successive harmonic. It was found that the period was cut in half with each harmonic. Or the frequency was doubled. ie. harmonic 1 produced one...

Two loudspeakers face each other, vibrate in phase, and produce identical 438-Hz tones. A listener walks from one speaker toward the other at a constant speed and hears the loudness change (loud-soft-loud) at a frequency of 3.3 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the walking speed?

hello i have got to these questions in my homework and have no idea how to start them, if anyone can point me in the correct direction i will be greatfull. these questions are to do with a guitar. the fundamental standing wave pattern shown produces a note of frequency 280hz is a...

Hi, I am a student of physics. I want to know why we call standing waves as waves because wave transmit energy but standing waves don't transfer energy. Secondly how standing waves are produced in H atom where there is only 1 electron. Why the colour of sky is blue at day time and why it is...
