The discussion revolves around the motion of a string at two adjacent antinodes within the context of standing waves. Participants explore the nature of motion at these points and how they relate to each other in terms of phase differences.
The discussion is active, with participants providing insights and asking clarifying questions. Some have attempted to interpret the motion and phase relationships, while others are exploring the implications of their sketches and the definitions of phase in relation to the motion of the string.
Participants are working under the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information they can use or the assumptions they can make about the system being analyzed.
So mark an adjacent antinode, showing where it will be at the same time as the antinode position that you marked.thatguy4000 said:
One antinode point would be up and one would be down. Would that mean they are in phase though?haruspex said:
The solid line is where the string is physically. The dashed line is where the string will be in half a cycle. How does this relate to phase?kuruman said:
That's what phase is - the fraction of a cycle difference in being at a given stage, where a whole cycle is a 2π phase difference.thatguy4000 said:
If 2π is one cycle, what is half a cycle?thatguy4000 said:
Yes. To the last statement.thatguy4000 said:
Well done.thatguy4000 said:
