    Find the Second Resonant length of an air column

    Does that mean that both questions have the same answer?

    Order of Operations: Guitar String Frequency

    Shooting star: Not sure what you're saying. I apoligize for my lack of knowlegdge. I'm returning to school to complete my diploma after being out for 15 years. I picked a course that may be a little to advanced for me but I don't want to lose the money I put down for it. Do you need...

    The actual meaning of delta in these circumstances

    Homework Statement Please don't make fun of my question, I just want to have a strong understanding of the meaning and it's use My textbook just pops these symbols out at me without explanation. Maybe it just expects I know this stuff In the equation Vs = \Delta d / \Delta t

    How Long Does a Sonar Signal Take to Return from the Ocean Floor?

    Homework Statement A ship sends a sonar signal to the bottom of the ocean, 4000 m below. The speed of sound in the seawater under the conditions of the problem is 1500 m/s How much time elapses between the transmission of the signal and the reception of its echo? Homework Equations...

    Resonance and air columns open at one end and closed at the other.

    Anadyne Thank you for your quick response. You actually helped clear things up for me quite a bit. Where you said. I took a look at my diagrams and sure enough that's how it goes for example three nodes and three antinodes would refer to a third resonance. I'm sure quite obvious to you...

    Resonance and air columns open at one end and closed at the other.

    Homework Statement The question I'm working on is First the diagram:http://http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc10/Spookie71/image0-12.jpg There is the matter of the equation I use to solve the equation: Can you please explain for me? Scott

    Resonance and understanding what a resonant is?

    Actually forget my last question: I have a question regarding an equation again. Required is \lambda l = \frac{(2n - 1)\lambda}{4} becomes \lambda\frac{4l}{(2n - 1)} I understand that you multiply the 4 by both sides and then bring the 4l over as the numerator. Where it...

    Resonance and understanding what a resonant is?

    Anadyne I appreciate your help. to be honest I'm just a little overwhelmed. It's a lot of new concepts all at once. Just a matter of processing them. I guess it would help a little if I knew where we are going and where I will apply this later in Physics. It's a lot to remember how sound...

    Resonance and understanding what a resonant is?

    So those pictures that i posted for you are based on using different frequencies, that makes more sense to me. the applet makes a lot more sense. The page didn't really say it was using different frequencies, just that there was a 2nd and 3rd Resonant. Still confused but the overall picture...
