AI Thread Summary
The fundamental frequency of a stretched string and a closed pipe can be equal under specific conditions, as expressed by the equation v/2L for the string and v/4L for the pipe. This equality occurs when the ratio of the speed of sound in the two mediums (string and air) and their respective lengths are considered. Factors influencing their frequencies include the lengths of the string and pipe, as well as any elements that affect the speed of sound in each medium. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing sound production in different systems.

HI
As we know, the fundametal freq of a stretched string is f=v/2L
while the fundametal freq. of a closed pipe is f=v/4L
then,
how can the fundametal freq. of both can be the same?!

and, what factors would affect their freq.?!

The frequencies will be the same when \frac{v_1}{2L_1} = \frac{v_2}{4L_2}, of course. The speed is the speed of sound: in the string and in air. The fundamental frequencies will be affected by their lengths and whatever affects the speed of sound--look it up! :smile:
 
thank you very much
 
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...
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.
