Harmonics of a Standing Wave - IB Physics

I explain the definition of harmonics in standing waves and show their shapes and patterns for strings that have 2 fixed ends, 1 fixed & 1 open end, and 2 open ends. I show how to find wavelength, velocity, frequency, and the fundamental frequency.
0:00 The velocity in a medium is constant
1:16 What is a harmonic?
3:06 2 fixed ends: reflection
5:02 2 fixed ends: wavelength of harmonics
6:49 2 fixed ends: frequency of harmonics
9:40 Example problem: 2 fixed ends
11:30 Fixed at 1 end: reflection
13:45 Fixed at 1 end: wavelength, frequency, & harmonic #
17:20 2 open ends: reflection
17:59 2 open ends: wavelength, frequency, & harmonic #

BEST EXPLANATION EVER!

I have discovered your channel a few days ago and realized there are such good videos. Thank you so much for the explanations and hope more people find your channel!

[@SKY-lf5sy]

hi! this video was very helpful and your explanation is really clear! thank you for continuing to upload :)

[@perfectneglect5770]

Oh my God you sounded so much like Chris Doner at 10:44 when you said 'Multiply that out'
Great video though, really helped me consolidate the ideas

[@HernandezLopezPedro]

thank you very much, your video was so helpful!

[@AdrianTangMusic]

thank you for making these 🙂

[@sumeetrathore7946]

Thank you for explanation

[@giordanodigloria5496]

Does every harmonic need to end at an antinode? If not how comes the first harmonic at 18:30 doesn't stop at the antinode?

[@pavithranthayalan9378]

You're explaining very well, i would like to be a student in your class

[@alickmandala6744]

Good explanation

[@iCosmicRex]

man you are awesome

[@aditij3263]

at 16:25 shouldn't the wavelength be equal to 2/3L?

[@DJTejasMusic28]

this is amazing. Please please please do HL videos as well

[@AndyMasley]

Working on it! Been a busy school year so far but hoping to have time to make more soon

[@naveensingh5787]

what is the meaning of fundamental frequency

[@kevinpham928]

10:01 has equations

[@alexciobanu3819]

ty )

[@taanishqverma5253]

6:24 it should be 3/2 right?

[@annasek7123]

No, it should not. It is good. You can wright L=3/2 wavelength

[@taanishqverma5253]

6:39 the relation should be n/2 L
