Guitar: Fourier

Guitar: Longitudinal Waves and Guitar Strings As a guitar string vibrates, it sets surrounding air molecules into vibrational motion. The frequency at which these air molecules vibrate is equal to the frequency of vibration of the guitar string

Guitar: See a transverse wave travel along a guitar string shows what happens when a string is set into its free motion by an impulse - by being plucked, Waves on a String

Guitar: Vibrational modes of an acoustic guitar

Guitar: Vibrational modes of an electric guitar study the vibration of an electric guitar in order to determine its natural frequencies and mode shapes

How a speaker works most loud speakers consist of a circular permanent magnet surrounding a freely moving coil. The coil is attached to a cone shaped diaphragm that is moved back and forth to produce accoustical waves (sound)

How do Guitar Pickups Work How do Guitar Pickups Work

How do violins change with age and playing

How to Make a Guitar Sing The goal of this project is to determine which musical intervals are most effective at producing sympathetic vibrations on open guitar strings when another string is picked (plucked), Guitar Fundamentals: Wavelength, Frequency, & Speed

Standing Waves This document is a non-mathematical introduction to waves, harmonics, and standing waves

Standing Waves, Medium Fixed At Both Ends Here is an animation showing the standing wave patterns that are produced on a medium such as a string on a musical instrument. This type of medium would be said to be fixed at both ends, that is, held motionless at both ends

Strings, standing waves and harmonics

The Physics of the Acoustic Guitar

The String Plucker This time animation is constructed from the exact Fourier series for an ideal plucked string, vibrating in a plane, with uniform tension and initial triangular profile as set by the user
