A variety of actual wave patterns could be produced, with each pattern characterized by a distinctly different number of nodes.
Such standing wave patterns can only be produced within the medium when it is vibrated at certain frequencies. There are several frequencies with which the snakey can be vibrated to produce the patterns. Each frequency is associated with a different standing wave pattern.
These frequencies and their associated wave patterns are referred to as harmonics. As discussed earlier in Lesson 4 , the production of standing wave patterns demand that the introduction of crests and troughs into the medium be precisely timed. If the timing is not precise, then a regular and repeating wave pattern will not be discerned within the medium - a harmonic does not exist at such a frequency.
With precise timing, reflected vibrations from the opposite end of the medium will interfere with vibrations introduced into the medium in such a manner that there are points that always appear to be standing still. These points of no displacement are referred to as nodes. Positioned in between every node is a point that undergoes maximum displacement from a positive position to a negative position. These points of maximum displacement are referred to as antinodes. Unanswered Suppose you attach a Hz buzzer to a tennis ball and throw it to your friend.

However, in every case, fixed at both ends, open at both ends, fixed at one end and open at the other end , the first possible standing wave is called the fundamental , the second possible standing wave is called the 1st overtone , the third possible standing wave is called the 2nd overtone , and so on.
