or, perhaps more easily, by adjusting the machine heads, to obtain the same, or a multiple, of the AC frequency to achieve the same effect. For example, in the case of a guitar, the 6th (lowest pitched) string pressed to the third fret gives a G at 97.999 Hz. A slight adjustment can alter it to

In daylight and other non-oscillating light sources, this effect does not occur and the string appears still but thicker, and lighter or blurred, due to 726: 1099: 817: 1416: 549: 1261:{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\Delta x}}\left(\left.{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x}}\right|^{x+\Delta x}-\left.{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x}}\right|^{x}\right)={\frac {\mu }{T}}{\frac {\partial ^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}}}.} 1868: 1043:{\displaystyle -{\frac {T_{2}\sin(\beta )}{T_{2}\cos(\beta )}}+{\frac {T_{1}\sin(\alpha )}{T_{1}\cos(\alpha )}}=-\tan(\beta )+\tan(\alpha )={\frac {\mu \Delta x}{T}}{\frac {\partial ^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}}}.} 2141: 1742: 1053:

Accordingly, using the small angle approximation, the horizontal tensions acting on both sides of the string segment are given by 1646: 1583: 1292: 264: 1071: 809: 336: 1454: 1091: 789: 356: 1669: 2081: 1915: 312: 176: 1943: 1891: 1793: 1765: 1693: 1603: 1552: 1312: 769: 749: 541: 380: 288: 156: 132: 523:
