Theory Piano tuning

1 theory 1.1 overtones , harmonics 1.2 temperament 1.3 stretch theory overtones , harmonics schematic of vibrating string, fixed @ both ends, showing first 6 normal modes or harmonics a stretched string vibrates in different modes, or harmonics. when piano string vibrates, harmonic modes excited simultaneously. first harmonic (or fundamental frequency) loudest, , determines pitch perceived. theoretically higher harmonics (also called overtones or partials) vibrate @ integer multiples of fundamental frequency. (e.g. string fundamental frequency of 100 hz have overtones @ 200 hz, 300 hz, 400 hz, etc.) in reality, frequencies of overtones shifted slightly, due inharmonicity caused stiffness of strings. the relationship between 2 pitches, called interval, ratio of absolute frequencies. easiest intervals identify , tune note frequencies have simple whole-number ratio (e.g. octave 2:1 ratio, perfect fifth 3:2, etc.) because harmonics of these intervals coincide , beat when...

Discovery and exploitation Radio wave

rough plot of earth s atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves. radio waves first predicted mathematical work done in 1867 scottish mathematical physicist james clerk maxwell. maxwell noticed wavelike properties of light , similarities in electrical , magnetic observations. mathematical theory, called maxwell s equations, described light waves , radio waves waves of electromagnetism travel in space, radiated charged particle undergoes acceleration. in 1887, heinrich hertz demonstrated reality of maxwell s electromagnetic waves experimentally generating radio waves in laboratory, showing exhibited same wave properties light: standing waves, refraction, diffraction, , polarization. radio waves, called hertzian waves , first used communication in mid 1890s guglielmo marconi, developed first practical radio transmitters , receivers.
