Re: More on the beats ...




Hi Nick,

If the string is acting like a forced node, and it is slightly off
center, you would have two half-rods of lengths L and L + a smidge. When
struck they would vibrate at at their natural freqencies (nu and nu - a
smidge) causing the beat frequency.

Just a thought,

Robert
