    This is the most beautiful presentation ever. For the first time I realize that a standing wave is nothing more than a cosine modulating the amplitude of a sine wave. Amazing. I love you!

Your demonstration proves extremely valuable that registers in my mind. I thank God for your life, and contribution to teaching physics in a way that makes me appreciate and love Physics. You enlightened me of all the topics that I didn’t really understand the concept well, or sometimes not at all because of lack of faculty by others. You are such a gift in the world of Physics.

    The simple mention of the fact that, in the standing wave equation, the spatial and temporal information is not interlinked makes for a great tool for understanding how standing waves aren't being shifted left or right (speaking purely in terms of vertical vs. horizontal displacement).
    Excellent explanation of the standing wave professor. Thank you!

    You are an incredible teacher and a wonderful human being. You involved your students in the lecture and gave them a chance to demonstrate their talents to everyone. Very rarely is this the case - most teachers are content showing off their own talents (if even that). I will remember this lesson - to give others the chance to impress me - because you never know what amazing talents people have hidden.

    In reed based woodwinds instruments, e.g. clarinet or saxophone, if one blowconstantly on a note, theb open the register hole which eliminate the fubdamental freq so you get a note in hugher octave but then you close the hole and magically you do not get the low fundamental as long as you continue blowing air in. Only when one stops and dtart again the low fundamental freq appears again. I wonder why?

      +JunYu Lei If the string is closed at both sides, then at x=0 and at x=L the displacement must always be zero. As long as your solution meets those conditions it does not matter whether you have sin or cos.
      If the string is closed at one end but open at x=L, then your solution should give a displacement of 0 at x=0 at all times and dy/dx must be zero at all times. As long as your solution meets those conditions it does not matter whether you have sin or cos.

    In case of fundamental frequency, we always get high amplitude as compared to other harmonics so is it safe to say that if we want to have destructive resonance then fundamental frequency is the most suitable option for it?

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  7 років тому +1

      This will often be true. However, it's in principle possible for objects to break much easier in the second harmonic than in the fundamental. Suppose you took a glass rod of length L which is thinner (thus weaker) near L/4 and 3L/4.. It may then be easier to break it when you excite it in first harmonic above the fundamental than in the fundamental. There may be many objects (including bridges and glass wear) that are more vulnerable at res freq above the fundamental than at the fundamental.

    I have a question about the traveling wave equation y=2sin3(x-6t). When I search on the internet I always find that the equatin is y=2sin(wt-kx). When we write equation for AC voltage it's also u(t)=U*sin(wt + "theta" ). So I'm not sure which one is correct. Please forgive me if I am missing something obvious, thank you in advance.

      y=2sin3(x-6t) = 2sin(3x-18t). Thus k = 3 (lambda = 2.1m) and omega is 18 rad/sec. y=2sin(wt-kx) => y=-2sin(18t-3x). Again lambda = 2.1 m and omega = 18 rad/sec. The - sign is a phase change of 180 degrees. NO PROBLEM! These are TRAVELING WAVES!

    I am a professional trombonist. I really enjoyed your presentation. I have a question regarding what I believe to be standing waves. I blow air through my lips, which causes my lips to open and close rapidly. The frequency can change but it gravitates towards the harmonic series related to the length of the trombone at any particular time.
    If air is being displaced into the instrument, the air would also be displaced back into my body when the lips recoil back to their original position (which means my lips actually move forwards and backwards as opposed to just 'up and down'- the 'open and closed' is a byproduct of 'back and forth').
    If there is also air being displaced into my body, then that would mean my body resonates like a drum.
    If my body resonates like a drum, then the amount of tension my body has will change the amount of resonance it can produce. Does this mean that body tension will change my overall sound (I assume amplitude)? Do you know of any information regarding body tension? I haven't really found any research addressing this type of measurement. Thanks for any help you can provide!

      +Jason Sulliman If you produce a 440 Hz tone with your trombone, it's the air inside the trombone that oscillates at 440 Hz and with higher harmonics. The air in your body will not vibrate at 440 Hz.

      @JasonSulliman 9 років тому

      +Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics.
      But how than that be? I understand that the air inside the trombone will oscillate at 440Hz, but given the way the lips are moving air, *some* oscillation of air must happen in the other direction- I assume 440 in this example but at a different amplitude. I am interested in learning more about this phenomenon but no one seems to have done any research on it. I just don't understand how it could *not be a factor.
      The more relaxed I am, the louder and fuller my sound is. I would go so far as to say larger players have an easier time producing larger sounds (I think) because the mass of their bodies contributes in some way to sound ia standing waves. Am I really way off base?
      Thanks for getting back to me.

      +Jason Sulliman your lips do not produce the 440 Hz. Of course the 440 Hz tome, sound waves produced by your trombone, propagate in all directions. Also in the directions of your ears, lips and arms but the energy in the sound waves that reach your lips, arms and ears is insufficient to act as a driving force to make your lips, arms and ears noticeably vibrate at 440 Hz.

    sir, in sin(kx-ωt) , if i substitute x=vt , where is the linear velocity of the wave and you said v=ω/k. Then k gets cancelled and i get the remaining ωt. So then ωt - ωt becomes zero. I know this is not correct but pls tell me where am i making mistake. waiting sir..............

    • @Tikorous
      @Tikorous 4 роки тому

      kx measures the number of radians travelled by a point on the wave to get to a particular x value.
      wt measures the number of radians travelled by a point on the wave to get to a particular t value.
      x and t are independent dimensions.
      By linking them you're tracking a single point not an infinite sine wave.
      So kx - wt becomes "take the number of radians it took to get to this place in space minus the number of radians it took to get to this place in time" which are obviously always the same.

Anything that you drive with one of its res freq will obviously oscill only at that freq. I do not know of any musical instruments that produces only its fundamental for rather obvious reasons as NONE are driven with ONLY one of their res freq. The Tacoma bridge is more tricky. The mode that was excited is probably its lowest energy mode. Use the web to learn more about this.

      So you mean that every object has fundamental frequency and harmonic?
      If yes then what will happen if we drive the speaker at frequency equal to 2nd harmonic of the wine glass?

      1. watch my lectures, it's all there INCLUDING demonstrations using various instruments
      2. the glass may not break if we drive it with it with sound at a resonance freq other than the fundamental as we may not be able to generate enough sound power.

    • @yash29210
      @yash29210 7 років тому

      So is it safe to say that every object in the world can have more than one resonance frequency ie fundamental and several other harmonics even if we can't match it(as you said in case of wine glass)?

      ALLLLLL objects have many resonance frequencies. If you drive them with one of their res freq they will "react" accordingly, but that does not mean that you can destroy them. Look at my great demo of the many resonance freq of a disc (Chladni plates). I search for the res freq and you see the results !!! Lect ua-cam.com/video/GFR8UJK3Mzc/v-deo.html
      It's even more impressive to do this with a square plate ua-cam.com/video/Qf0t4qIVWF4/v-deo.html

    Sir, I guess I may be asking something a bit off topic. But I think you are the best person to answer it.

    Hello professor.. How are you?I have a doubt. If the magnetic force depends on the velocity of charge and accelerating charges create radiation. Then, in which frame of reference the velocity and acceleration are measured. If I accelerate carrying a charge in hand, it's stationary for me but accelerating for others.. Does it radiate?

    Teacher,When I am allowed to use Y=Asin(wt-kx) instead of sin(kx-wt)..
    If I use two equation of travelling wave
    Y1=Asin(wt-kx)..going in the +x direction
    Y2=Asin(wt+kx)...going in the -x direction.
    Using superposition principle I immediately find the resultant of this two waves as Y=Y1+Y2.=2A coskx sinwt..
    Here final x dependent amplitude is =2A coskx....If I solve for antinode point I find X=0,π\2,π......
    #Very wired!!! I find x=0 as antinode point?
    Is it correc???

    I'm a french cityzen and i'd like to know what means 8.02 and 8.03 ? of cours I understand that's a matter of level ,could you telle me more ? for instance in france we'v got Math sup and Math spe (1st year and 2nd year of math physisc and chemistry high level) and also in university 3 years licnse 4 /years master,5y+ doctorat (Phd in US)
    thanks and i'm fan of your lessons ,you suceded in melting pragmatical experiences linked cleverly with théory !
    by the way I have another question about electromagnetism and elctrom. waves : how is it possible that E and Bto be immediatly linked in space propagation , why is there no" delay" between variation of one regarding the other ,why is it "instantly" ?
