Physics of the Violin


Slides
Research Paper


Abstract:
This paper will focus on the relationship between physics and the violin.  It will describe how several subjects regarding physics pertain to the production of sound by the violin.  Some of these subjects include standing waves, frequency, friction, and resonance.  However, these are only a few of the topics of physics that cover its relation to the violin.  A considerable amount of mind and body coordination as well as years of practice are crucial for the success of a musician.  Still, having a better understanding about physics and how it applies to the violin can help any musician perform better with the violin.

  1. Hey Luisa! Very impressive presentation. I was surprised by the fact that the reason that each string makes a different sound is due to the frequency that it makes, which is caused by the thickness of the specific string
