Thanks for the explanation. However, I forgot to say that the instrument I am working on is something like a guitar, and everytime I pluck it it only produces one wave, and there is no wave to meet with the reflected wave, so how does the standing wave come about? Is it because λ=2L, so the...
Homework Statement
Hi, I'm currently doing a project on the physics of music, more specifically physics of stringed instruments. I don't really understand how are standing waves generated and used in stringed instruments. Are the standing waves present in the string, in the sound wave, or...
