Phasor analysis of transverse wave on a string

AI Thread Summary
Phasor analysis can be applied to transverse waves on a string by isolating simple harmonic motion (SHM) at fixed positions along the string. The relationship between Young's modulus, tension, angular frequency, and frequency can be established through phasors, similar to point mass SHM. While the motion of transverse waves is oscillatory, it may not always be classified as simple harmonic under all conditions. The discussion also considers the potential for applying phasor analysis to standing waves on a string. Overall, the feasibility of this approach hinges on ideal conditions being met.

The way we have a phasor analysis for a point mass executing un-damped simple SHM, is there something like that for transverse waves on a string.
According to me if we fix the position then we can focus on the isolated SHM at that particular position. Is there any way in which I can relate the young's modulus of elasticity, the tension, angular frequency as well as frequency of the whole wave to a phasor?
Can the same be done for a standing wave on a string?

PS. please explain in detail.

he motion although would b oscillatory, wouldn't be simple harmonic.

I am absolutely sure that the motion will be simple harmonic (assuming the ideal conditions)

thinking of it, there is a possibility.
 

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
