Harmonic

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on whether the nth harmonic in sound consistently produces n crests. Participants seek clarification on the relationship between harmonics and wave patterns. The term "loop" was initially used but later corrected to "crests." There is an inquiry about any general rules governing this phenomenon. The conversation highlights the need for a deeper understanding of harmonics in sound waves.

Hello,

Does the nth harmonic ALWAYS produce n loops, when referring to sound?
If not, is there a general rule for this?

Thanks.

What exactly are you referring when you say loop?

Hello,

Sorry i meant crests.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
