Finding Lambda 4 for mechanical harmonics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The equation for lambda four in mechanical harmonics is established as lambda4 = 2L/4. This conclusion follows a discernible pattern from previously known equations: lambda1 = 2L, lambda2 = L, and lambda3 = 2L/3. The user initially struggled to find this equation in textbooks and online resources but ultimately derived it independently.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical harmonics

Homework Statement



I am trying to find the equation for lambda four for mechanical harmonics.

Homework Equations



I know that lambda1=2L, lambda2=L, lambda3=2L/3, but neither google nor my textbook have the equation for lambda4!

The Attempt at a Solution



I have searched my physics textbook, class notes, and google for this and have come up with absolutely nothing.
Can anyone please assist? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!
