PLEASE SHOW ALL STEPS and equations used.

Two identical strings are fixed on both ends. The first string is vibrating in its fundamental mode and it is observed that the other string begins to vibrate at its third harmonic, driven by the first string. What is the ratio of the tension of the second string to that of the first string.

This was answered else where but I don't understand the answers. If possible please draw a picture.

Expert Solution

By "identical", this tells us that the strings have the same linear density, and the same length. Therefore, it would only be tension driving them to vibrate differently.

The third harmonic, has three times the frequency, as the fundamental, for any given case of tension/linear density/length. This means the fundamental frequency of the second string, is 1/3 of its third harmonic's frequency.

Because the first string is driving the vibration of the other string, this means that the other string's driven harmonic is at the same frequency as the first strings fundamental.

Thus, fundamental frequencies of each string relate as such:
f2 = f1/3

For any given string, the speed relates to string length and fundamental frequency as:
v = 2*L*f

because only half of a fundamental wavelength, vibrates in the length of the string.

Construct for version 1 and 2:
v1 = 2*L*f1
v2 = 2*L*f2

And formulas for speed of the string wave:
v = sqrt(T/mu)

sqrt(T1/mu) = 2*L*f1
sqrt(T2/mu) = 2*L*f2
sqrt(T2/mu) = 2*L*(f1/3)

Solve for f1, in terms of T1:
sqrt(T1/mu) = 2*L*f1
f1 = sqrt(T1/mu)/(2*L)

Plug in:
sqrt(T2/mu) = 2*L*(f1/3)
sqrt(T2/mu) = 2*L*((sqrt(T1/mu)/(2*L))/3)

Cancel the common terms:
sqrt(T2) = sqrt(T1)/3

Square both sides, and here is your answer:
T2 = T1/sqrt(3)

The ratio is 1/sqrt(3) to 1. Also said as 0.577 to 1. The second string only tightened to 57.7% of the tension of the first string.

Take two identical closed strings, both tracing out exactly the same path in space. These two strings are coincident everywhere. Call this state I. Take a single closed string following exactly the same closed path as in the first case, but not closing just yet. The string goes around exactly the same path once again before closing in on itself. Two cycles around the same closed path. Call this state II. String field theory tells us unambiguously states I and...

A condensate of open strings with both ends attached to the same D-brane can be equivalent to a displacement of the D-brane with no open string condensate. A solution to the D-brane Born-Infeld action gives rise to a semi-infinite string extension which is entirely equivalent to an open string with one end attached to the D-brane. Why aren't D-branes and strings independent degrees of freedom?
