A question about resonant frequency

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the phenomenon observed in a viral video of a harp being played, where the camera shutter speed synchronizes with the string vibrations. This creates a visually captivating effect that some may confuse with resonant frequency. However, participants clarify that the effect is actually a stroboscopic effect, not directly related to resonant frequency. The stroboscopic effect occurs when periodic motion is captured at intervals that match the motion's frequency, leading to the illusion of stillness or slowed motion. Understanding this distinction is crucial for grasping the mechanics of wave phenomena.

hello, I'm a first year science undergrad, currently learning about mechanics and waves and so on
there's this vine that's been going around, which shows someone playing a harp - here is the video in question; I personally find it quite beautiful and fascinating. Apparently the phenomena is caused by the camera shutter speed being in synch with the vibration of the string. Is this an example of resonant frequency, or is it something else entirely? Thanks.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
