AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the theoretical frequency of bamboo flutes based on their length and diameter. The original poster seeks an equation that incorporates both dimensions to determine the frequency produced. They inquire if others have experimented with flutes of the same length but varying diameters. The conversation highlights the need for practical experimentation to understand the relationship between flute dimensions and sound frequency. Insights on this topic could enhance the physics practical project.

Dear all,

I have been attempting to create a range of bamboo flutes with different lengths for my physics practical. I am trying to calculate the theoretical frequency that should be produced by a particular length of flute, but all my flutes have different diamaters and I am searching for an equation that takes into account the diameter of the flute as well as the length of the flute to produce a particular frequency. Can anyone help me?

As this is a practical project, have you experimented with flutes of the same length and different diameters?
 
Ah! Well that is one I have not tried.

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...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
