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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!!
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!"
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 👍
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.
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.
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...
the musical intervals are actually not a perfect representation of the harmonics, in fact they're are harmonics that don't even exist in our musical tuning system. the reason we use approxamites in music is basic math, it's so intervals have a constant harmonic quality, that's to say, the distance between c3 and g3 and g3 and d4 are identically mathematically while not being perfect integer multiples. also this might be a really old video but there's an error in the video as the major seventh is labeled as a major sixth.a
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 :)
Could this be why the all the bills were removed from the Catholic Christian Church and replace with lower frequencies or speaker amplified bells are you able to explain this to me sir
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 ?
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.
3:32 Stopped watching after you said 'Ruded' instead of 'Rooted' :) Could cause an ambulance driver to go to the wrong address if you make the fundamental error of replacing T with a D.

I thought professor Dave explains only chemistry but he explains physics too..he's a life saver 😭❤️
I was trying to understand musical chords and ended up here
I was NOT expecting that intro, lowkey enjoyed it though
Thanks Jesus

I don't think he is even christian .
He is just saying that based on his (Dave's) appearance.

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!

I’ve reached a point where I like the video before it even begins, I just know it’s going to be amazing
Beautiful explanation of a beautiful topic. Thanks Prof Dave.
I think we really need more detail about the consonant intervals. Deserves its own video
Cool way of remembering nodes
node = no amplitude
Antinode = yes amplitude

Hello... Putrycz
Thank You Prof. Dave. :) This is coming in my exams 2 weeks from now, and the video definitely helped.
Thanks for going into detail on this I always wondered how to explain that
Thanks Prof! Please make your next videos on Electric Field, Flux, Potential and Gauss Law! Thanks!! :D
Brilliant how you define problem of The amplitude of harmonics in modern way!
Thank you for nodes and standing waves.

One of the best channels!
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 !
You're so amazing professor
thanks as always, your videos are always helpful.
I'am a teacher, but feels like a student when he lectures. I enjoyed your videos a lot
Thanks professor Dave that’s totally helpful for me
Thanks now I know the connection between music and quantum mechanics
Sir these short vedios are quite amazing and helpful too. The way you deliver the content is unique in itself. Thankyou Sir.

Awesome. Thank you for the great video. This is very clear and well presented.
I have a test tomorrow and you helped a lot.
Outstanding sir
I need more of your help sir having trouble in understanding but your video make sense😮
Nice explanation
Great video. Many thanks.
Lots of love from india sir❤️
Clear explanation..
It was easy after learning this ... Thank you prof.😃
I luv the intro tooo much😂😂🎉❤
great lesson. Thanks
This video is so good.
Thank you professor
Thxz a lot prof
yeah i still cant understand how can someone simplify stuff yet cover all details.
Great videoas always.
thank you
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.
i love the music for checking comprehensions
the musical intervals are actually not a perfect representation of the harmonics, in fact they're are harmonics that don't even exist in our musical tuning system. the reason we use approxamites in music is basic math, it's so intervals have a constant harmonic quality, that's to say, the distance between c3 and g3 and g3 and d4 are identically mathematically while not being perfect integer multiples. also this might be a really old video but there's an error in the video as the major seventh is labeled as a major sixth.a
I can tell these are gonna save me for revision
even when within the depths of A-Level physics revision GCSE music still finds a way to haunt me
Fascinating that combined standing waves at constant intervals produce perfect tones in music... Thanks professor Dave... ☮🔥
Very good!
Nice explaination.

If a guitar string is a standing wave, with no oscillations at the boundaries, why does changing the tension change the pitch?
thanks so much
Thank you
thank you very much this helped me a lot while reading my book
this is amazing

I have an upcoming exam thanks alot professor Dave
Dude u r a life saver
Its great to see Ranbir kapoor teaching physics.. keep it up bro..👍
Yaa i also think same
Comprehensive explaination
do you have a transcription of this video? I would benefit from a text version to read. Thanks for making!
Also, do any of your lessons cover traveling waves?
such as flavor/color change and spin
Wait! Why is a third harmonic called a fifth, not a third??? What is it 1/5 of???
upload video on Doppler effect
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?
reaaaally good!
Sir , you look like a ranveer kappoor, (who is indian actor). And you teach excellent
Kapoor
I am your fan
Thankyou!
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.
I came here for fire EQ techniques and left with a lesson on Quantum Physics lol
bro head is now a doll 😂 ahh doll😭
can this relate to the spin of subatomic physics ?
Thanks
Are waves on a guitar really considered stationary if the waves produced by the guitar are traveling through air?
the vibrations on the string are standing waves
Why are light and matter standing waves
Why do I get the feeling that this is more relevant than we know?
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.
It is the case for standing waves on a string, that the harmonics have to be integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
what a goat
3:32 Stopped watching after you said 'Ruded' instead of 'Rooted' :) Could cause an ambulance driver to go to the wrong address if you make the fundamental error of replacing T with a D.
Can u make a video on overtones as well ,professor!
