Hello! Just wanted to confirm equations!
both open ends--> wavelength = 2L/n (n being # of nodes)
both closed ends --> wavelength = 2L/n (n being #antinodes)
one open, one closed --> wavelength = 4L/n (n being only odd positive integers, no even # harmonics)
Is this correct? If so, how would I tackle a problem like the one in KA (attached)? Since it only said open or closed, I thought it meant both open and both closed, thus using the same equation of 2L/n (different n's).
OPEN n=4, wavelength = 2L/4 and frequency = 4v/2L
CLOSED n=3, wavelength = 2L/3 and frequency = 3v/2L
how is this a factor of 2? I'm definitely doing something wrong....
