  2. Node (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    A standing wave. The red dots are the wave nodes. A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude. For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of the string are nodes. By changing the position of the end node through frets, the guitarist changes the effective length of the vibrating string and thereby the ...

  3. Standing wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave

    The standing wave with n = 1 oscillates at the fundamental frequency and has a wavelength that is twice the length of the string. Higher integer values of n correspond to modes of oscillation called harmonics or overtones. Any standing wave on the string will have n + 1 nodes including the fixed ends and n anti-nodes.

  4. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    The red dots represent the wave nodes. A standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave whose envelope remains in a constant position. This phenomenon arises as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The sum of two counter-propagating waves (of equal amplitude and frequency) creates a standing ...

  5. Acoustic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance

    Sound travels as a longitudinal compression wave, causing air molecules to move back and forth along the direction of travel. Within a tube, a standing wave is formed, whose wavelength depends on the length of the tube. At the closed end of the tube, air molecules cannot move much, so this end of the tube is a displacement node in

  6. Amphidromic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphidromic_point

    The points at which the two waves amplify each other are known as antinodes and the points at which the two waves cancel each other out are known as nodes. Figure 2 shows a 1 ⁄ 4 λ resonator. The first node is located at 1 ⁄ 4 λ of the total wave, followed by the next node reoccurring 1 ⁄ 2 λ farther at 3 ⁄ 4 λ.

  7. Harmonic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic

    In physics, acoustics, and telecommunications, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal. The fundamental frequency is also called the 1st harmonic ; the other harmonics are known as higher harmonics .

  9. Melde's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melde's_experiment

    In the experiment, mechanical waves traveled in opposite directions form immobile points, called nodes. These waves were called standing waves by Melde since the position of the nodes and loops (points where the cord vibrated) stayed static. Standing waves were first discovered by Franz Melde, who coined the term "standing wave" around 1860.
