  1. Longitudinal Standing Waves and Harmonic Series in Open and Closed Tubes Physics of Music, Spring 2014

  2. Key terms • Bernoulli’s Equation • Pressure vs. velocity • Compression vs. rarefaction • Open tube • Closed tube • Boundary condition—phase change • Node vs. anti-node • Even and Odd harmonics • Kundt’s Tube

  3. Kundt’s Tube: Standing waves in wind instruments

  4. Bernoulli’s Equation for Fluids P + ½rV2 = constant density velocity pressure • Pressure goes up, velocity goes down (and vice-versa) • Energy is divided into random (pressure) and ordered motion (kinetic energy)

  5. Open-open Tube Always “clamped” at atmospheric pressure

  6. Closed-open Tube Zero net flow of air molecules Always “clamped” at atmospheric pressure

  7. Reflections No Phase Change Phase Change

  8. Harmonic Series Open-Open Open-Closed

  9. Harmonics: Velocity vs Pressure

  10. Harmonic Scale Flute Clarinet (missing even harmonics)

  11. Kundt’s Tube

  12. Brass Instruments How the valves on a trumpet work? Why does pushing down a valve change the note that sounds?

  13. Condenser Microphone - + - + - +

  15. Acoustic Impedance How much pressure it takes to induce a certain amount of air to flow Z = DP/u
