Resonance and the Sounds of Music

[@umaryaqoob6967]

I am doing Electrical Engineering, and I came here accidentally, but ended up watching one lecture after an other without getting bored.. Walter Lewin is a great teacher, and i'll buy his book some day.

[@smallmoe2931]

Did u become an engineer now?

[@whmozart]

I just clcked here randomly and ended up watching the whole thing. Fascinating! looking for more now!

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

There is plenty "more"

[@whmozart]

I love this guy! I would enroll in whichever college he is teaching at just to attend his lectures. Physics is not my thing, but he makes it so interesting I want to learn everything this man has to teach!

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

whmozart I was 43 years at MIT; I retired in 2009. I gave 2 lectures at MIT and 16 lectures in Japan and India (2012 and 2014) after my retirement. My "farewell lecture" at MIT (May 16, 2011) has is my mot popular lecture. It has been viewed 4.5 million times. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXuqXqWOd8egecU

[@whmozart]

wait a second... are you THE Walter Lewin responding here??

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

Yes I am the REAL Walter Lewin and I run this channel. The woman who is playing the violin (see thumb nail) is my daughter Pauline.

[@shwetachauhan3527]

The best est professor ever...........really for the love of physics!!!!!! great.........

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

+Shweta Chauhan Thank you!

[@Mr.Gui.monteiro]

I am glad they record everything. Teachers like him are legends. In my whole life, I only met 2 people like him. Deep respect.

Prof. Lewis’s infectious enthusiasm inspired me almost 2 decades ago to study physics after I finished my basic medical degree. I have only joy and satisfaction for doing so, no regrets. I’ve gone on to make some fundamental discoveries of my own in the theory of wave interference. Thankyou so much sir! Wish I had the chance to meet you in real life.

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

you are most welcome!

[@Tom-sp3gy]

@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Thankyou sir for your reply. It’s such an honor! In case you are interested, the name of my paper is “multiple slit interference: a hyperbola based analysis” which can easily be found and downloaded on a google search. I was very blessed to have had such a great teacher as you. You are a rare gemstone.

[@samarthsinha4139]

This is the way how physics (or any subject like that) should be taught... Love from India sir... Hope so every schools or institutes professor (or sir) starts explaining the things this way..

[@valerkand]

19:20 - you cannot hear these organ pipes with such a low frequency, but you can feel it with your body. If you have ever visited the real organ concert (not listen by TV or headphobes) then you will feel your body vibration at low sounds frequencies. This brings you to the fantastic feeling of the live organ music.

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics. kzbin.info/door/iEHVhv0SBMpP75JbzJShqw 300+ videos. Many of them with high resolution. This channel has all my lectures and talks.

[@Supakumo]

Marvelous. Bless you for making these videos available to the world. If our luck holds, they will be here for many generations to come.

[@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259]

Your luck will hold! At present (March 2016) my videos are being watched by more than half a million viewers each month. That's more than 6 million in a year!.

[@Supakumo]

By the way, I believe finding a precise 440 hz A on the guitar was difficult because it is an equal temperament tuned instrument, rather than a just tuned instrument. As I expect you are aware, equal temperament is a system of tuning in which every pair of adjacent pitches is separated by the same interval, i.e., dividing the 12 chromatic notes into equal parts. This is close, but doesn’t quite match up with the natural harmonics, though it does allow the instrument to be played in all 12 keys. Tuning instruments to harmonic ratios is referred to as “just tuning”. Instruments tuned this way sound very good to the human ear, but only in the key that they are tuned. A violinist can adjust the finger position on any note to get to the best harmonics; a guitarist, who is bound by the position of the frets, cannot. Anyway, I think this might make an interesting side note in your next lecture on the subject.

[@lionofjudea4146]

There is no greater higher calling than a teacher. Thank you Prof. Lewin... :--)

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

Music does not need symmetric math. Noncommutative phase is the empirical truth of music, as Alain Connes points out. so if C is 1, octave 2 then G is 3 as overtone while F is 3 as undertone. So G=3=F at same time as noncommutative phase. Sir James Jeans points out that the infinite spiral of fifths is the empirical truth of music - this is because of noncommutative phase as quantum nonlocality - a geometric dimension of zero. So symmetric math does not capture the secret of music as human hearing is faster than Fourier Uncertainty. Nonwestern music knows the secret of music as infinite time-frequency resonance energy. de Broglie's Law of Phase Harmony also rediscovered this secret of music.

53:50 Gets you to the start of the wine glass break attempted BUT WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO...TRULY AMAZINGLY EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING!

[@CodeCraze101]

when your passion is your profession... That kind of dedication shows up...

[@old_45]

Astonishing didactic quality, at the very highest level, very possibly unique! And this is no vulgarization: the reasoning is as rigorous as it needs to be, and the equations are introduced as the obvious language of Physics, not as a hindrance to be suffered. I think all Professor Lewin's students get to feel the esthetic emotion of practicing Physics and the joy of understanding the physical world. Superb teacher, in the highest sense of the word!

[@iceman7975]

The one and only .Teaching dedication at its best.

[@PISHACHINEE]

I had also gave 10 minutes standing ovation in my room after seeing this lecture

Professor I want to thank you for wonderful work and your upbeat spirit. I am lying here in a Covid-19 ward feeling rather down. Your infectious love of physics is the only disease I want to have and maintain. Thank you for your words helping me now.

[@piyushawasthi4322]

Great sir, This is your love with physics that makes you different from many others .

Sir Walter! I am a musician, and thank you for that wonderful lecture! You made me love music and physics even more! 😁

[@arnabchanda9295]

Sir,truely this video made me fall in love with sound!

[@AlexEwan1]

As a an amateur violinist I found this really interesting. A violin teacher I had a few years didn't understand why I tuned to 440hz on the basis that orchestral stringed instruments resonate better at 442hz. I still tune my violin to 440hz to this day.

[@alimohebi9683]

You are just amazing sir. I am a PhD student in Physics and the way you teach is giving me a bright view of the nature to love science and our elegant world. I remember once you said "You must love it or do not touch it"

[@rishinigam9070]

Still remember why army is not allowed to March on pull so that resonance of army men March doesn't match with natural frequency of pull because if it does then pull will resonate up and down.. Love physics😍😍😍😍😍

[@daniel123456789a]

I'm studying the relation that exists among physics/math and music, for instance: a major chord which is audibly consonant is composed by the first three odd harmonics, thats: 1, 3 and 5. If 1 is C, then 3 would be G and five would be E, so you would have a C major chord (C+E+G). On the other hand if the frecuencies are obtained by dividing the fundamental frequency in integer numbers (instead of multiplying it, as in the example above), that's: 1/1, 1/3, 1/5. In this case if 1/1 is G, 1/3 would be C and 1/5 would be E flat, that's a C minor chord (C+Eb+G) which is also consonant. The interesting thing is that while mathematically this chords are inverse (the Major and the Minor), musically each one of them evoques a certain mood or feeling which, although music is subjective, could be generalized as oposite. In the one hand, a Major chord evokes a harm, happy, light sound, while a Minor chord evoques a cold, sad, dark sound.

[@ibrahimhcaglayan]

I define 3 phenomena regarding self-excited vibrations: Natural Frequency, Critical Speed and Resonance. They are related but different. Natural Frequency is a physical property of any physical object dependent solely on the mass and rigidity of the object. Critical Speed is the turning speed of any rotating object that matches its natural frequency. Resonance is the extremely high amplitude response of an object that is being excited at its natural frequency or for a rotating shaft, at its criitical speed.

I was actually able to see a colour that humans aren't supposed to be able to see some time ago - it is sometimes called "yellowish blue", and it is a weird mix of yellow and blue that is very different from green - basically a yellow/blue mess where both colours are visible at the same time. You can see that colour by having blue and yellow next to each other and then have them converge with your eyes, kinda like when you look at "Magic Eye" pictures. There are several images like that on the Internet if you search for "yellowish blue".

In April 1831, a brigade of soldiers marched in step across England's Broughton Suspension Bridge. According to accounts of the time, the bridge broke apart beneath the soldiers, throwing dozens of men into the water. After this happened, the British Army reportedly sent new orders: Soldiers crossing a long bridge must "break stride," or not march in unison, to stop such a situation from occurring again. Structures like bridges and buildings, although they appear to be solid and immovable, have a natural frequency of vibration within them. A force that's applied to an object at the same frequency as the object's natural frequency will amplify the vibration of the object in an occurrence called mechanical resonance.

[@Jirayu.Kaewprateep]

[@getaphd]

At 14:50 you say that the string "singles out" its resonance frequency when hit with a hammer. But there is not just one resonance frequency- as you told in the beginning of the lecture. Do you mean to say that the string "singles out" the fundamental frequency? If yes, why is that? (I am a physics student, so might understand a detailed explanation as well).

[@ashutoshverma5980]

I can explain that .......when he says that the instrument singles out its resonance frequency he means all of the frequency(resonant) present is the given stroke of hammer it can be one or two or theer depends upon how hard you hit ........as any vibrating object can vibrate in more then one frequency (resonant) at a time
