The above image shows a tube of length L which is closed at one end and open on the other side. Based on our discussions above we saw that sound waves (which are longitudinal waves of air molecules) also form standing waves inside a tube. When standing waves form in a tube as shown above, it can have several patterns: First harmonic is the pattern that has the least number of nodes and anti-nodes possible (1 node and 1 anti-node for the sound tube). Second harmonic is the pattern having the next higher number of nodes and anti-nodes (2 nodes and 2 anti-nodes for the sound tube).

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
