  2. Mersenne's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne's_laws

    A string, tied at A, is kept in tension by W, a suspended weight, and two bridges, B and the movable bridge C, while D is a freely moving wheel; all allowing one to demonstrate Mersenne's laws regarding tension and length [1] Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, [1] useful in ...

  3. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    Vibration, standing waves in a string. The fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series. A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone.

  4. String theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory

    In string theory, one of the many vibrational states of the string corresponds to the graviton, a quantum mechanical particle that carries the gravitational force. Thus, string theory is a theory of quantum gravity. String theory is a broad and varied subject that attempts to address a number of deep questions of fundamental physics.

  5. String (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(physics)

    In string theories of particle physics, the strings are very tiny; much smaller than can be observed in today's particle accelerators. The characteristic length scale of strings is typically on the order of the Planck length, about 10 −35 meter, the scale at which the effects of quantum gravity are believed to become significant. Therefore on ...

  6. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    String-like objects in relativistic theories, such as the strings used in some models of interactions between quarks, or those used in the modern string theory, also possess tension. These strings are analyzed in terms of their world sheet, and the energy is then typically proportional to the length of the string. As a result, the tension in ...

  8. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    The strings of string theory are modeled to be on the order of the Planck length. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] In theories with large extra dimensions , the Planck length calculated from the observed value of G {\displaystyle G} can be smaller than the true, fundamental Planck length.
