If the "loops were open on both sides," this typically refers to a standing wave where both ends are antinodes (points of maximum displacement or amplitude), similar to a pipe open at both ends. In this scenario, the length (L) of the medium would be calculated as an integer multiple of half-wavelengths. The formula for the length would be: L = n ()/(2) where: • L is the length of the medium. • is the wavelength of the standing wave. • n is an integer representing the harmonic number (or mode number), where n = 1, 2, 3, . For n=1, the length is ()/(2) (fundamental frequency). For n=2, the length is (first overtone), and so on. Got more? Send 'em.
