Stationary Wave Questions: Can Open Tubes Produce Them?

AI Thread Summary

Stationary waves can be produced in open tubes, similar to closed tubes, due to the reflection of waves. The air pressure at the open ends of the tube is typically atmospheric pressure, while at the center, it can vary based on the wave's amplitude. The presence of nodes and antinodes in open tubes allows for the formation of stationary waves. Understanding the pressure dynamics is crucial for analyzing wave behavior in these tubes. This highlights the importance of wave reflection and pressure variations in producing stationary waves in open tubes.

Questions again!
AS I know stationary can be produced by the reflection of waves in a closed tube.But how can stationary still be produced in an open tube??

Thanks for your help

Think in terms of air pressure. What is the air pressure likely to be at the open ends of the tube? What is it likely to be at the centre of the tube?

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
