AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying various equations and their applications, particularly in wave dynamics and acoustics. Equation 3 relates to wave speed in terms of wavelength and frequency, while 5 connects angular frequency to ordinary frequency. Equations 2 and 6 describe acoustic harmonics for open and closed tubes, respectively, and are linked to solutions of partial differential equations. Equation 1 appears to be a solution to Laplace's equation, while 7 addresses reflection magnitude and 8 pertains to the thin lens equation. The conversation suggests the need for a comprehensive index of formulas in textbooks for easier reference.

What do you want to know? These are not equations with fancy names.
 
3 is from wave dynamics...I don't know if it has a name, but it describes the speed of a wave in terms of its wavelength and frequency or period.

5 relates angular frequency to ordinary frequency.

2 and 6 describes the acoustic harmonics of a tube...I think 2 describes an open tube, 6 a tube that is closed on one end.
 
2. and 6. do not need to be associated with acoustics, they are very general parts of solutions to that type of partial differential equation. 1 could arise in any number of ways, it looks like the solution to a PDE, like Laplace's equation. 4 and 5 are pretty self explanatory. 7 looks like it describes a reflection magnitude. 8 is a thin lens equation.
 
i'm just trying to locate them in the textbook, so basically i'd like to know which section they belong in

thanks for the help so far

It would be a good idea to have an index of formulas in textbooks
 
Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
