Synopsis
Understand how periodic forces can sustain vibrations and control wave propagation.
This classic paper explores a special kind of maintained vibration that is driven by an external periodic influence, yet does not simply push the system away from equilibrium. It uses the familiar Melde’s experiment with a vibrating string to illustrate how imposing a periodic variation in tension can keep a system in a steady oscillation. The discussion helps clarify how waves propagate when the medium responds to a repeating, externally applied pattern, shedding light on the interaction between forcing and structure.
- Learn how forced vibrations differ when the forcing is periodic but does not directly displace the equilibrium configuration
- See how the tension and motion interplay in a string setup that mirrors more complex wave systems
- Discover the relation between external periodicity and wave propagation in media with a recurring structure
- Gain historical and conceptual context for foundational ideas in wave theory and vibration
Ideal for readers of classic physics and the history of wave phenomena, this edition presents the ideas in accessible language with examples that connect theory to observable effects.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of papers written by the physicist Lord Rayleigh on the subjects of optics and acoustics. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including the reflection of light from twin planes of a crystal, the existence of reflection when the relative refractive index is unity, the stability or instability of certain fluid motions, the diffraction of sound, and the relative densities of hydrogen and oxygen. The papers are written in a clear and concise style and are accessible to readers with a basic understanding of physics. They provide a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science or in the development of our understanding of light and sound. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330109816_0
