The Mathematics of Standing WavesA sinusoidal wave traveling to the right along the x-axis with angular frequency ω = 2πf, wave number k = 2π/λ and amplitude a is
An equivalent wave traveling to the left is
We previously used the symbol A for the wave amplitude, but here we will use a lowercase a to represent the amplitude of each individual wave and reserve A for theamplitude of the net wave.

The Mathematics of Standing WavesAccording to the principle of superposition, the net displacement of the medium when both waves are present is the sum of DR and DL:
We can simplify this by using a trigonometric identity, and arrive at
Where the amplitude function A(x) is defined as
The amplitude reaches a maximum value of Amax = 2a at points where sin kx = 1.

For a string of fixed length L, the boundary conditions can be satisfied only if the wavelength has one of the values
A standing wave can exist on the string only if its wavelength is one of the values given by Equation 21.13. Because λf = v for a sinusoidal wave, the oscillation frequency corresponding to wavelength λm is

There are three things to note about the normal modes of astring.1. m is the number of antinodes on the standing wave, not
the number of nodes. You can tell a string’s mode of oscillation by counting the number of antinodes.
2. The fundamental mode, with m = 1, has λ1 = 2L, notλ1 = L. Only half of a wavelength is contained between the boundaries, a direct consequence of the fact that the spacing between nodes is λ/2.
3. The frequencies of the normal modes form a series: f1, 2f1, 3f1, …The fundamental frequency f1 can be found as the difference between the frequencies of any two adjacent modes. That is, f1 = Δf = fm+1 – fm.

Standing Sound Waves
• A long, narrow column of air, such as the air in a tube or pipe, can support a longitudinal standing sound wave.
• A closed end of a column of air must be a displacement node. Thus the boundary conditions—nodes at the ends—are the same as for a standing wave on a string.
• It is often useful to think of sound as a pressure wave rather than a displacement wave. The pressure oscillates around its equilibrium value.
• The nodes and antinodes of the pressure wave are interchanged with those of the displacement wave.

Interference in One DimensionThe pattern resulting from the superposition of two waves is often called interference. In this section we will look at the interference of two waves traveling in the same direction.

Beats• With beats, the sound intensity rises and falls twice during
one cycle of the modulation envelope. • Each “loud-soft-loud” is one beat, so the beat frequency
fbeat, which is the number of beats per second, is twice the modulation frequency fmod.
• The beat frequency is
where, to keep fbeat from being negative, we will always let f1 be the larger of the two frequencies. The beat is simply the difference between the two individual
frequencies.
