just for anyone wondering, N stands for node, A stands for antinode. Nodes mean the points on the strings that appears to stand still, and antinodes are the points on the string that are oscillating with 'maximum amplitude'.
+ some people have pointed out that the antinodes are points that oscilates with 'maximum amplitude'.You're right. I've added that to the definition. Sorry for the incomplete explanation.

I know this was intended as a physics demonstration, but it also works remarkably well for music theory in terms of subdividing a beat. I was half expecting the layers to overlap to show different rhythmic syncopation.

I often go up to the 16th Harmonic with myself.

This brings back memories. I did basic training in 97, and a few guys were having discussion about harmonic resonance and marching on bridges. Two of the guys were sceptical. I told them we could prove it then and there. We were on the 7th floor of the Mega structure and we had an all steel cage stairway. We started marching in step in the stairs and eventually the sound resonating from the steel bars was unlike anything you can believe. At the bottom on the ground floor the steel handle was moving back and forth and singing an high pitch whine. The duty Sgt almost caught us. We probably could have collapsed the whole stair case had we continued.

At the end I was expecting a bass drop.

I have no idea what this means or why it's recommended, but it sure is hypnotic and relaxing. I wish my school did/taught something like this.

If only our college professors explained us wave theory this way

This guy's classroom sounds like it's in a rainforest, imagine how calming it is during tests.

You know what? I often feel that i wasnt ready for this at high school. Because at 25 now, i just realize what it was and what it is.

[lackdejuranez]

That's amazing! It was kinda hard to imagine this stuff back when the professor taught it, seeing it in action makes me get goosebumps!

[davidebevilacqua]

If you try you can notice the effort to swing increase with the frequency exactly like the energy of the electromagnetic wave ( ex uv has lower energy than gamma rays)

[HarryBalzak]

This is so fascinating. I love physical physics demonstrations.

[zener]

What kind of music do you like ?

Me: it’s difficult to explain

[XHARDER]

I love how each harmonic is also a perfect swing, 7th would sound sick with some drums behind it!

Fun fact, I learned while working on ski lifts that these harmonics are possible on a moving lift line (weather permitting) they often cause lift faults but could be so bad as to actually take out an entire lift line, luckily they now have pneudraulic and hydraulic automatic counterweight systems to relive tension and prevent these

I have a beaded curtain in the doorway of my bathroom. When I walk through the beads in the afternoon, the light from the window casts a shadow on the floor and I can watch the standing sine waves form and slowly dissipate. It's mesmerizing....

[simonvh]

I like how clean the beginning is, where you can see the waves that start when the big wave hits the hand and the hand moves a bit out of place

[karlieable]

Man that first "tok" got me by surprise. Almost had heart attack.

[ThisIsNotSky]

Ah yes, this appeared in my recommendation for unknown reasons.

It is scary how Youtube actually know what I enjoy watching without me even searching for it. This is just so satisfying to watch and I have no idea why
