Standing waves on the 'A' string of a guitar: animation and frequency of harmonics. #shorts

We animate the harmonics or standing waves on the A string of a guitar: animation and frequency of harmonics including the scientific pitch notation for each note.

The fundamental tone, or first harmonic involves a standing wave with only one antinode at the center of the string, and for the A string of a guitar this has a frequency of 110Hz yielding an A2 note.

The first overtone, or second harmonic on the string, involves a standing wave with two antinodes oscillating with a frequency of 220Hz or an A3 note.

The next harmonic on the string is the second overtone or third harmonic, oscillating with a frequency of 330Hz with three antinodes to give us a note of E4.

Next, we animate the harmonic with 4 antinodes, and this one has a frequency of 440Hz giving us an A4 note.

The fifth harmonic oscillates with a frequency of 550Hz which is approximately a C5# note and has five antinodes in the standing wave.

Finally, when the string is plucked, we will hear all the harmonics with lower amplitude for the higher harmonics. We animate the mix of all the harmonics from 1 to 5 and mix the audio to give a sense for the overall tone of the A string on the guitar.

Nice ☺️ helped me a lot when two wave of same amplitude moving and opposite direction overlap they form standing wave . I also studied of the standing wave in which one end is not fixed.

Thank you ❤
Hamari waves chapter me help ke liye 😀😀😀😀

Why does it kinda sounds like the old chicken invaders intro😭😭?

When all string vibrated together the produced a interference of string of frequency of 5D string of guitar😅😅

Also can you tell how, the displacement wave and pressure wave is in 90 degree phase difference...like when I am in mean position the pressure is maximum and when I move to some s* ahead the pressure become zero....this is a per equation of pressure and displacement
That's it ...s = s* sin ( wt- kx ) and p = p* cos ( wt-kx )


But as per my sense of logic...when we compress the medium to maximum then pressure change should be max, and again in mean it should be equal to natural pressure and in again as we decompress it, means moving back from mean, that should be rarefication...but as per equation mean displacement position has highest change in pressure, and extreme position have less change in pressure


How I didn't get the logic

[miguelbass]

That's a bit incorrect because you are making all hamonics the same amplitude and in fact their amplitude decreases as the order increases. That's why in a guitar you hear mostly the fundamental and a little of first few harmonics at the same time, and not like in the video which sounds like a full chord with all notes the same strength.

Sir can you helped me in my one doubt please 🥺
Sir if guitar and other instrument release stationary waves so how we hear it . Stationary waves does not transfer energy and it vibrate it to and fro from the mean position so we how we hear please give me reply I am in doubt

[ASH___]

Does stationary wave means that the wave is in rest, the particles are just vibrating ???

[cadenorris]

How is it possible that a string plays all these frequencies at the same time?

[bidyutkumarpurohit]

I have a question like in organ pipe there is standing waves and something like this...but how it's enters our ear ...mean to say they are in pattern inside the organ pipe, but when the waves comes out they are not in that pattern....also they are standing waves ...how does they move ...the stand in between the length that's my doubt ...like we can hear the audio in this video ...but the vibration happening inside some organ pipe ...

[soundshq]

does the A string of the guitar play all these frequencies at once?
