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.
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
This video was so informative. Thank you again Prof. Dave ! I'm taking Physics II now, and i'm getting so interested in waves. Physics I was such a bore in comparison
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.
That is an animated graph of the Bessel function, which is the solution to the wave equation with the boundary conditions of a drum head. In other words, that is how a mathematically idealized drum would vibrate.
What an amazing overall this classic physics series has been so far. I am enjoying every bit of it. Thank you Dave, your work has been a great help in my exams preparation.
Liked and subscribed! This was an excellent introductory view of harmonics and standing waves. Looking forward to digging through the rest of your material. Thank you, from a life-long autodidact trapped in a cycle of shift work. **edit** The "d" stands for "David", by the way. Glad to see another Dave doing such good work.
Brilliant how you define problem of The amplitude of harmonics in modern way! Thank you for nodes and standing waves. The alternative process-of extracting from the signal the various frequencies and amplitudes are present practical for physical approach like: "How to guid!"
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!!
As the old saying goes..."you get what you pay for." No offense Dave...just being real because I'm sure you'd say the same thing if the tables were turned and being an instructor, you've said it and thought many times.
Thanks professor Dave. I teach earth and space science so I cover electromagnetic waves as well as mechanical seismic waves. I like to do a denser spring demo with the kids but I don’t delve too deeply into the mechanics of waves. I would like to use this video as an enrichment activity though. Thanks so much for this 👍
I think possible chinese air force of japan or our naval aviation had an idea of roller conveyor build of sound so air plane or anything can ride on it frictionlessly like roller convey by standing way rolling conveyor..that is how the back to the future hover board is designed
Standing Waves and quantization is also the reason String Theory is so important even though it is not well understood. It has the principle of Nature at it's core.
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??
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.
Hey Professor Dave you should watch Alain Connes, Fields Medal math professor - his youtube lectures on quantum music of the sphere. He calls it (2, 3, infinity) because the 2/3 and 3/2 standing waves are actually noncommutative geometry. There's more to it but I won't steal his show...
Prof dave .. pls can u tell me how can i study pysic in best ways pls ... and im always watching ur videos ❤ Also can u tell me some advices about studying physic pls ?
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.
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
Sir do vocal folds vibrate at multiple frequencies at the same time. Means how do vocal folds produce both fundamental vibration and series of harmonics simultaneously??????pls clarify sir. Is it done by vocal folds or vocal tract or by fundamental vibration itself ??
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.
Hello Dave! I have to say that if I know this stuff already Pretty Well, I don't know, just hearing You and seeing your Very Clear btw Presentation, I have Realised something of VERY GREAT Importance to me while relating Standing Waves with something very specific. I guess I have to thank You and to Congratulate You for the Pedagogic Quality :) Very Thanks for your video :)
With HiFi headphone, I can hear up to 1hz, with the pure tone wave, here I mean the normal smooth wave, not the winding wave, because the audiometry on a winding wave is unfair ??

I was NOT expecting that intro, lowkey enjoyed it though
I thought professor Dave explains only chemistry but he explains physics too..he's a life saver 😭❤️

2:04, if that's how drums make their sound in slow motion, that's fucking cool.
Amazing, right? I will never look at drums the same way again!
That is an animated graph of the Bessel function, which is the solution to the wave equation with the boundary conditions of a drum head. In other words, that is how a mathematically idealized drum would vibrate.
Cool way of remembering nodes
node = no amplitude
Antinode = yes amplitude
I’ve reached a point where I like the video before it even begins, I just know it’s going to be amazing
I think we really need more detail about the consonant intervals. Deserves its own video
Beautiful explanation of a beautiful topic. Thanks Prof Dave.
Thanks for going into detail on this I always wondered how to explain that
Thank You Prof. Dave. :) This is coming in my exams 2 weeks from now, and the video definitely helped.

Hello... Putrycz
Watching this video just made me realize how little I know abt physics....
Hai
Well good thing there was hardly any physics in the video.
@@pirate0bloodyskull ikr
thanks Prof Dave! this really helped
The explantion is very clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much.
There's an error at 2:56. The second major sixth should be a major seventh instead.
oh man how did i miss that! it's just a picture from the internet, i should've looked more carefully at it.
yeah i had to look at it twice to make sure i wasn't seeing things.
As the old saying goes..."you get what you pay for." No offense Dave...just being real because I'm sure you'd say the same thing if the tables were turned and being an instructor, you've said it and thought many times.
You're observant
Phew...glad its not just me that spotted the Major 7th Mix up !

Sir these short vedios are quite amazing and helpful too. The way you deliver the content is unique in itself. Thankyou Sir.
Great job done professor Dave🎉
Outstanding sir
great lesson. Thanks
thanks as always, your videos are always helpful.
yeah i still cant understand how can someone simplify stuff yet cover all details.
Great videoas always.

Clear explanation..
Can you explain where the extra length of string comes from when the standing wave is at its highest amplitude vs when it is a straight line.
Great video. Many thanks.
This video is so good.

this is amazing
Thanks proffy
Dude u r a life saver
reaaaally good!
Awesome!

When you pluck a string, it travels like a jump rope it is not 2 dimensional. Wouldn’t the wave also be radial? Or helical?

Yes. That is how you can tell the difference between a human voice and a pure sine wave, both with the same frequency.
Its great to see Ranbir kapoor teaching physics.. keep it up bro..👍
Yaa i also think same
I luv the intro tooo much😂😂🎉❤

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

'Preciate it.
If a guitar string is a standing wave, with no oscillations at the boundaries, why does changing the tension change the pitch?

Why are light and matter standing waves
With HiFi headphone, I can hear up to 1hz, with the pure tone wave, here I mean the normal smooth wave, not the winding wave, because the audiometry on a winding wave is unfair ??
what about PHI ratio harmonics?
If higher frequency means more energy, why are overtones not as loud as the fundamental frequency?
For an unchanged amplitude, a higher frequency means more energy. Overtones have significantly less amplitude than the fundamental frequency.
what is resonant frequency?
A frequency at which a body that is free to vibrate, can start vibrating due to another energy source of the same frequency.
if u rlly think about it waves are energy. energy shapes our reality. so waves shapes our reality
